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.

[email protected] Letter from the Editor t’s up to us to demonstrate what’s possible, says Cornell Moore. The Dorsey lawyer, like the other recipients of this year’s Diversity and Inclusion Awards, means it and lives it. That’s what makes it so fulfilling to Minnesota ILawyer to bring you, for the third year, a roster of attorneys and judges who demonstrate what’s possible. Some of the possible achievements are philosophical or psychological. That may include helping lawyers and law firms get past their fear of the “other,” bringing race equity into different areas of work, forging relationships and creating a culture that supports excellence, accomplishment and diversity. Some of the possible achievements are about the big picture. That may be the demographics of the judiciary, the collateral consequences of crime, and taking care of the pipeline through mentoring, training and educational scholarships. And some are at the nuts-and-bolts level, like getting billable hour credits for diversity work, opening up the practice to foreign lawyers, providing free online education, or increasing summer clerkships. It’s also the daily nuts- and-bolts work of attending committee meetings, keeping relationships going, watching out for one’s own implicit biases and reaching out to elected officials and candidates. That may be a long list (and there’s more), but it demonstrates what’s possible, and Minnesota, thanks to our honorees, has it all.

  • A Primer on Changes Wrought in the Wake of Justice David Lillehaug's
    OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE MINNESOTA STATE BAR ASSOCIATION VOLUME LXXVII NUMBER X NOVEMBER 2020 www.mnbar.org A primer on changes wrought in the wake of Justice David Lillehaug’s 2016 article on unpublished appellate decisions ‘PUBLISHED’ AND ‘UNPUBLISHED’ REVISITED BY JEFF MARKOWITZ AND STEPHEN WARNER 14 Bench&Bar of Minnesota s November 2020 www.mnbar.org A primer on changes wrought in the wake of Justice David Lillehaug’s 2016 article on unpublished appellate decisions ustice David Lillehaug garnered much at- tention when, in a December 2016 cover story in these pages, he called for five changes to the law governing publication J of Minnesota Court of Appeals opinions.1 Effective August 1, 2020, the repeal of Minn. Stat. §480A.08, subd. 3(c)2 and amendments to the Minnesota Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure3 have largely implemented three of Justice Lillehaug’s suggestions and fur- thered the spirit of the other two. Litigants have good cause to believe that citing unpublished court of appeals opinions in briefing is worthwhile. Such opinions are not binding, but they can—and do—per- suade. The court of appeals has made that clear by expressly following unpublished opin- ions in at least three unpublished opinions and eight published opinions. And the Min- nesota Supreme Court has cited such unpub- lished opinions at least twice. But a few misconceptions must be dis- pelled to understand the lay of the land with respect to what were known, until the recent amendments, as unpublished decisions. As we will discuss in more detail, whether Minne- sota Supreme Court decisions are published or unpublished is irrelevant to whether they are binding; they are always binding prec- edent (as long as they are majority opinions, or unanimous4).

  • 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
