MSBA Legal News Digest

Wednesday, September 1, 2010

It seems that doom and gloom is seeping into the profession, with articles about the apparent growing divide between lawyer "haves" and "have nots" and a "grim" revenue picture for small firms. On the bright side, former MSBA President Leo Brisbois, deemed a "son of the Iron Range," is appointed to a federal magistrate position in Duluth, and the pro bono efforts of lawyers representing the I35W bridge collapse plaintiffs is celebrated.
