The men and women who have served as law clerks over the years have been a significant part of the history of the Minnesota Supreme Court. 

The Minnesota Supreme Court Historical Society and Appellate Practice Section of the Minnesota State Bar Association co-sponsored the Supreme Court Biennial Law Clerks' Reunion on May 21, 2010.  This event featured a presentation by Professor Adam Samaha from the University of Chicago Law School.  Professor Samaha clerked for Justice A.M. Sandy Keith of the Minnesota Supreme Court and Justice John Paul Stevens of the U.S. Supreme Court.  Pictured is Justice Paul Anderson, Professor Adam Samaha and Justice Esther Tomljanovich. The next Supreme Court law clerks reunion will take place in spring, 2012.

The MSCHS co-sponsored the biennial Court of Appeals law clerk's reunion with the MSBA Appellate Practice Section on June 3, 2011 at the Town and Country Club.  Magistrate Judge Leo Brisbois presented the CLE program entitled " The Road (Less Traveled) to the Federal District Court." Judge Brisbois reflected on his path to becoming a federal magistrate judge, including the impact of his clerkship at the Minnesota Court of Appeals on his personal and professional life. The next Court of Appeals reunion will take place in spring, 2013.

The Society has also published a Minnesota Supreme Court Law Clerk Directory. An electronic copy is available upon request by emailing director@mncourthistory.com.
