  • DLL Interview FINAL-2
    Mark Thomson: We're back on The ComMN Law. My name's Mark. I'm here with Alison and Justice David Lillehaug of the Minnesota Supreme Court. J. Lillehaug: Hello. Good to be with you. Mark Thomson: So we thought we'd begin with a bit of background on your life before the supreme court and it's a bit of a big ask, but do you have like a kind of thirty- second or one-minute summary of how you ended up here? Just so we can get people caught up if they don't know anything about you? J. Lillehaug: Sure. If you're talking resume, I went to Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where I grew up. Then Harvard law school, which was a big move for South Dakota boy. After that I clerked for two years for US District Court Judge Harry MacLaughlin of the District of Minnesota and that's where I learned to enjoy clerks and clerking. Following that, time at Hogan and Hartson and Washington DC. Traveling with Walter Mondale as his issues aid in the 1984 presidential campaign. We lost 49 states, so I had to come back to Minnesota and practiced at Leonard Street and Deinard, was United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota in the Clinton administration for four and a half years. I had time running for office, had time in solo practice and then about 11 years with Fredrikson and Byron before being appointed to the court by Governor Mark Dayton. It's a checkered career, Alison Key: Certainly a very storied legal career.
