The Brooks Range is a mountain range that stretches from west to east across northern Alaska and into Canada's Yukon Territory, a total distance of about 1100 km (700 mi).
Mount Chamberlin, 9020 ft (2,749 m), is the highest peak in the range.

 Barios v Brooks Range Supply, Inc. (07/20/2001) sp-5433
After the complaint was filed, Brooks Range did agree to pay Barios the overtime that she claimed for her inventory work at Prudhoe Bay and other time that she had itemized by date and time from 1994 to 1996.
Brooks Range then moved for summary judgment on most of Barios's claims, except her claim for overtime and the related remedy claims for wage lien, liquidated damages, and costs and attorney's fees.
Brooks Range sets out the trial court's decision at length and asserts, "[t]he reasonableness of Judge Hensley's decision speaks for itself." The overtime statutes upon which Barios relies specify that an employer must pay overtime wages for work in excess of eight hours a day or forty hours a week.
