Hudson Minnesota Supreme Court Musical Selection Lumina Memorials Presented to the Court Kathleen M. Murphy Chair, Bar Memorial Committee Presentation Accepted Court Adjourned Music by Laurie Leigh Harpist April 30, 2021 Presented by the Hennepin County Bar Association in collaboration with the Hennepin County District Court ABOUT THE BAR MEMORIAL The Hennepin County Bar Association and its Bar Memorial Committee welcome you to this Special Session of the Hennepin County District Court to honor members of our profession with ties to Hennepin County who passed away. We have traced the history of our Bar Memorial back to at least 1898, in a courthouse that is long gone, but had a beauty and charm that made it a fitting location for this gathering. We say “at least 1898,” because there is speculation that the practice of offering annual unwritten memorials began in 1857. Regardless of its date of origin, the Bar Memorial is now well into its second century, and it is a tradition that is certain to continue simply because it is right— and it is good. Buildings come and go, but the Bar Memorial has always found a suitable home, including in the chambers of the Minneapolis City Council, the boardroom of the Hennepin County Commissioners, and in Judge James Rosenbaum’s magnificent courtroom.

  • Assessing the Changing Nature of Authority in the Web Age: the Citation Practices of Minnesota Supreme Court
    Assessing the Changing Nature of Authority in the Web Age: The Citation Practices of Minnesota Supreme Court Rebecca Sherman Submitted to Professor Penny A. Hazelton to fulfill course requirements for Current Issues in Law Librarianship, LIS 595, and to fulfill the graduation requirement of the Culminating Experience Project for MLIS University of Washington Information School Seattle, Washington May 13, 2013 I. INTRODUCTION It has been twenty years since researches gave up the right to patent the World Wide Web and made the source code publicly available.1 Since entering the public domain, the web has revolutionized the way people get information. Although electronic databases such as Westlaw and Lexis have been around since the 70s, they have been transformed to keep pace with developments on the web. Google searching has become so popular that electronic databases are now being redesigned to emulate Google.2 Consider the Google-like search boxes in WestlawNext and Lexis Advance. As a result of the web and increasingly sophisticated databases, attorneys today no longer need to sift through heaps of books at the library. They have virtual access to information anytime and anywhere. Law is a profession that is highly dependent on information. The medium through which information is conveyed undoubtedly has effects on the way the law is understood. Where legal information once existed in a self-contained domain, today it can be found online amidst a universe of information.3 This change of access has raised some concerns. Professor Ellie

  • Results of Elections Attorneys General 1857
    RESULTS OF ELECTIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL 1857 - 2014 ------- ※------- COMPILED BY Douglas A. Hedin Editor, MLHP ------- ※------- (2016) 1 FOREWORD The Office of Attorney General of Minnesota is established by the constitution; its duties are set by the legislature; and its occupant is chosen by the voters. 1 The first question any historian of the office confronts is this: why is the attorney general elected and not appointed by the governor? Those searching for answers to this question will look in vain in the debates of the 1857 constitutional convention. That record is barren because there was a popular assumption that officers of the executive and legislative branches of the new state government would be elected. This expectation was so deeply and widely held that it was not even debated by the delegates. An oblique reference to this sentiment was uttered by Lafayette Emmett, a member of the Democratic wing of the convention, during a debate on whether the judges should be elected: I think that the great principle of an elective Judiciary will meet the hearty concurrence of the people of this State, and it will be entirely unsafe to go before any people in this enlightened age with a Constitution which denies them the right to elect all the officers by whom they are to be governed. 2 Contemporary editorialists were more direct and strident. When the convention convened in St. Paul in July 1857, the Minnesota Republican endorsed an elected judiciary and opposed placing appointment power in the chief executive: The less we have of executive patronage the better.
