Researching Minnesota Lawyers and Judges

Starting in the 1980's the library began creating career books for retiring justices of the Minnesota Supreme Court. There are currently 15 books in the series. In addition to the career books, there have also been oral history interviews of a number of former justices. There are too many to list here, but if you search the catalog on the Justice's name and the word "interview" you should pull up any materials we have (transcripts, audio, video).

In our positions as librarians, not lawyers, we can suggest resources but cannot give legal advice (such as which form to file) or legal opinions (such as how a statute might apply to particular facts). To do so could be considered the unauthorized practice of law. Even though we try to suggest materials that will be of help, more research is often required to find a complete and correct answer. For many questions, the best answer may be to consult an attorney.
