“The community listening session is an opportunity for judges and other members of the justice system to listen to and learn from the experiences of those we serve,” said Judge Ann Offermann, a member of the First Judicial District’s Equal Justice Committee, which is sponsoring the event. Judge Offermann has participated in other community listening sessions as well. She is chambered in Shakopee.
All 10 of Minnesota’s judicial districts have an equal justice committee, which partner with the Minnesota Judicial Branch Committee for Equality and Justice to advance efforts to eliminate bias from court operations, promote equal access to the court, and inspire a high level of trust and public confidence in the Minnesota Judicial Branch.
