As Minnesota prepares to celebrate its 150th anniversary next year, the courts are considering getting in the action with the establishment of the first-ever Minnesota Supreme Court Historical Society.
More than 20 states already have such a society, which serves as a repository for the history of their high courts. One project already under way by proponents of a Minnesota society is the collection and publication of materials on deceased justices of the court.
"The opportunities [for establishing such a society] are great because of the synergy with the state's Sesquicentennial celebration," wrote Minnesota Supreme Court Justices Paul Anderson and Sam Hanson in a letter on the project.
An exploratory meeting of persons interested in the idea of establishing a Minnesota Supreme Court Historical Society has been slated for Aug. 8 at 2:00 p.m. in Room 230 of the Judicial Center. Those interesed in attending should contact Lynn Magee at (651) 297-7676.
