The Minnesota Judicial Branch, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, and Minnesota Women Lawyers hosted a public reception today at the Minnesota State Law Library to celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of the state’s women judges and attorneys. The reception included an opportunity to tour “Minnesota Women in Law,” a new exhibit celebrating the advancement of women in the legal profession. The exhibit – which is on loan from the United States District Court, District of Minnesota – will be on display in the Minnesota State Law Library during regular business hours through April 30.
