Regional Lavender Law a Success! |
| Regional Lavender Law 2009, held January 31 at William Mitchell College of Law, was well-attended and successful. Nearly a hundred lawyer, law student, and community attendees took part in a program featuring three plenary and eight breakout sessions. Our special guests, Chief Justice Eric Magnuson of the Minnesota Supreme Court and Janson Wu from Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, were warmly welcomed and appreciated. Wu was also part of a student-focused event the evening before at the University of St. Thomas Law School. MLBA thanks all of our presenters, and all of our attendees, as well as our generous sponsors in the legal community: Thomson-Reuters, Leonard Street & Deinard, Robins Kaplan Miller & Ciresi, Maslon Edelman Borman & Brand, Gray Plant & Mooty, and William Mitchell College of Law. |
| Second District Ethics Committee Needs Members |
|
The Second District Ethics Committee (DEC) investigates Ethics complaints filed against attorneys in Ramsey County. The Ramsey County Bar Association is looking for additional attorneys to join the DEC. We encourage members of the minority bar associations to consider serving on the committee.
The commitment is for a three year term, and the committee meets monthly on the third Thursday of the month from 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. at the Judicial Center in St. Paul. Each committee member investigates two or three files a year, and reports back to the committee about that investigation. To serve on the DEC you must be a member of the Ramsey County Bar Association.
Please feel free to email or call Sharon Elmore at 651-222-0846 if you have any questions about the ethics committee, or if you know of someone who might be interested in serving on it.
Interested attorneys should send a resume and a letter explaining their interest in serving on the committee to Sharon Elmore at Sharon@ramseybar.org
