Dorsey & Whitney - An International business law firm, applying a business perspective to clients' needs in Missoula, Montana and beyond.

Tucked away in a corner of Laurel High School in a couple of storage rooms turned into computer labs, Michael Hines is training the next generation of information technology workers.

In one room, three students sketch out programming code on a piece of paper. In the next, four students huddle around a smartboard and configure a computer network to connect Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Virginia.

"So you all made a server? You all trying to be lazy, man," Hines says to the group of students, all laughing now. "No, that’s okay. Because when someone else has trouble with it, you’re going to show them how to put the server in there."
