The Many Hats of Brian Melendez: MSBA President 2007-08
MSBA’s new president manages multiple responsibilities in addition to his law practice, whether as chair of the Minnesota DFL Party, godparent to his friends' children, or member of the Quie Commission. Yet he finds time for a book a week and several marathons a year.

2007 Legislative Session in Review
Mr. Grooms’ annual review of the highlights of the Minnesota legislative session reports success for MSBA’s legislative agenda, lists bills of interest to lawyers in multiple areas of law, and looks ahead to anticipate key issues likely to confront the Legislature in the 2008 session.
By Lloyd W. Grooms

By Thomas J. Bieter
