Shortly after Peter F. Lane took office as a New York City Civil Court judge in

January, he was surprised to get a call from the Estonian Embassy. He assumed it

was a wrong number.

Regardless, he picked it up and learned that he's

apparently the first and only judge in the nation of Estonian descent.

In this podcast, we'll explore Judge Lane's background and learn a little about a

country in Northern Europe that some of us may have heard of, but

most of us could never pinpoint on a map.
