Warming up for the day!

Really excited to see our members today for our HCBF Charity Golf Classic!

Gov. Walz today announced the appointments of Jean Burdorf and John Lucas as District Court Judges in Minnesota’s Fourth Judicial District. These seats will be chambered in Minneapolis in Hennepin County.

So happy to see students back on campus today for the start of the fall semester, including Prof. Coon's *very early* Legal Methods course! Students: law school is hard, but know that we believe in you. We're honored to be on this journey with you. Have a great semester! #LSAT
