Dean’s Perspective s I approach the end of my second year as Dean of this wonderful Law School, I continue to reflect on the changes that have taken place since my first tenure as a member of the law faculty (1980–1982) some two decades ago under Bob Stein’s leadership. Of course, the world has changed tremendously since I initially joined the faculty in 1980, and the Law School has changed as well.There are, however, some constants: a• Although some faces have changed, this continues to be a superb teaching and scholarly faculty.Although the legendary J.J. Cound, Leo Raskind, David Bryden, Bob Levy and others have attained emeritus status and no longer actively teach, we are still fortunate to have great teachers and scholars like Professors Ann Burkhart, Laura Cooper and Dan Gifford, all of whom were appointed or reappointed to endowed chairs/professorships in the Law School this academic year. • Obviously the students have changed since 1980 (along with the hairstyles), yet we are still blessed with some of the brightest, nicest, and most hardworking students in the country. Indeed, the LSAT and UGPA statistics place our students among the top ten percent in the country, and that may understate their abilities. • Our recently remodeled clinic space allows our world renowned clinic faculty (now totaling seven) to continue to operate at a high level and to provide most of our students with practical training that is integral to producing exceptional lawyers. • Our law library, led by Kathleen Price in 1980 and expertly today by Associate Dean Joan Howland, continues to be ranked in the top 10 (actually 8th) and deservedly so, as it approaches the acquisition of its one millionth volume this fall. • As I travel within the Twin Cities,the state, around the country, and beyond, I continue to be amazed at the loyalty and level of alumni support for this institution and the reverence and respect the Law School generates among DEAN ALEX M. JOHNSON, JR. non-graduates as well. Of course, there have been new challenges and we have weathered those changes successfully.As I have mentioned prominently in my visits with alumni and in previous columns, our state support has diminished to the point where only approximately ten percent of our budget next year will come from public funds.When our charges, taxes, and fees are taken into account, we will remit almost as much to the University as we will receive in state support. In addition, although we are saddened to see valued and respected faculty members depart, we take solace and joy from welcoming new faculty members who will continue the tradition of scholarly excellence established by their predecessors. What does all of this mean? The Law School, like any dynamic organization or entity, is not and cannot, become static.To do so, is to accept complacency and mediocrity. Like most organizations, the Law School must change with the times in order to maintain its prominence. However, we must remain committed to our core values of excellence in teaching and scholarship, our mission of integrating practice and theory in the pursuit of excellence, and the pro- duction of ethical lawyers.As long as we do so, we will maintain and improve our place in legal academe. To persevere in this time of record budget deficits we are forced to adapt to a new reality in which the Law School will be supported through increased tuition (and we hope increased scholarships to offset the burden on students) along with increased alumni support. And so, as I conclude my second year as your Dean, I look back with awe at the changes that have taken place, not only in the last two decades, but those that have taken place in the last two years.We have withstood a significant financial hit and yet have emerged a stronger and better Law School. We here at the Law School are grateful for your past support and hope you will continue to partner with us to maintain and continue our tradition of excellence. Dean and William S.

I knew Maynard Pirsig in many different roles. Maynard was my law school professor. I first met him when I took a course from him in my first year of law school, almost forty years ago. I can still vividly recall that criminal law class, as Maynard Pirsig leaned back in his chair and propounded hypothetical after hypothetical to the class with the words: "Suppose this case ......

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.

  • Application for Posthumous Pardon Extraordinary [Matter No
    Application for Posthumous Pardon SUMMARY Extraordinary Applicant Name: Max Mason OF INVESTIGATION aka/fka: Date of Birth: 4/24/1899 or 8/27/18991 OFFENSE & SENTENCE INFORMATION 1. Offense Rape Conviction Date November 27, 1920 Discharge Date September 3, 1925 County St. Louis Court File No. 6785 Disposition Convicted by a jury of rape and sentenced to an indeterminate prison term of up to 30 years. Sentence Indeterminate prison term of up to 30 years. Description of On June 14, 1920, Mason arrived in Duluth with a traveling circus. Crime/Offense: Nineteen-year-old Irene Tusken and a young man attended the circus and, as they were leaving the grounds after dark, were allegedly confronted by six black circus workers who put a gun to the man’s head, forced the couple to a nearby ravine, and gang raped Tusken while she was largely unconscious. Afterwards, the young man escorted Tusken home, where she said goodnight to her parents and went to bed without any mention of the events. The young man proceeded to his night job and, in the early morning hours of June 15, 2020, told his father about the alleged gang rape. Police promptly arrested several black circus workers, including Mason, and brought them before Tusken and the young man for identification. Neither could identify any of the workers as the alleged assailants and Tusken shook her head no when Mason was presented. Tusken was also examined by a family physician who found no evidence of sexual intercourse, including abrasions, bruising, inflammation, soreness, or tenderness. Mason was allowed to leave with the circus to its next destination in Virginia, Minnesota.

  • Results of Elections of Justices to the Minnesota Supreme Court 1857 – 2016 ______
    RESULTS OF ELECTIONS OF JUSTICES TO THE MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT 1857 – 2016 ______ COMPILED BY DOUGLAS A. HEDIN 1. The Election Code The Minnesota Constitution, ratified by voters on October 13, 1857, imposed conditions on state judges that were far more restrictive than the standard for federal judges set by Article III, §1, of the U. S. Constitution. Rather than serve “during good behavior,” equivalent to “lifetime” employ- ment, judges on the state supreme court and lower courts were elected to short terms. Article 6, §3, provided: The judges of the supreme court shall be elected by the electors of the state at large, and their terms of office shall be seven years and until their successors are elected and qualified. The inclusion of a requirement of an elected judiciary in the 1857 constitution, besides being a reaction against the policy of presidential appointments to the court during the territorial period, 1 reflected the prevailing belief in the wisdom of the people; popularly-elected judges, it was supposed, would protect the rights and interests of the people; and a wayward judge could be checked at the next election. 2 Each judicial election since 1857 has been conducted according to an election code, which the legislature has amended, revised, reformed, and transformed many times. Unlike contests for executive and legislative 1 For the politics behind the selection of each of the eleven justices to the territorial supreme court, see my article, “‘Rotation in Office’ and the Territorial Supreme Court, 1849-1857” (MLHP, 2010). 2 Minnesota was not alone in requiring the election of its judiciary.
