The Minnesota Supreme Court decides the most complicated and important legal issues facing Minnesotans every day. Each Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court shoulders the weighty task of leading the Court in fulfilling its constitutional obligations. Their contributions to the development of Minnesota law are, accordingly, long-lasting and far-reaching.

We are honored to present a panel of all four living Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justices for a discussion of the Minnesota Supreme Court. Each panelist will discuss their experience on the court, their jurisprudential philosophies, and their thoughts on the role the court plays in Minnesota’s civic and legal landscape. We hope you will join us for this unique opportunity to hear from these leaders of the Minnesota bar. Drinks and refreshments will generously be provided by Dorsey & Whitney LLP.
