Diversity in the legal field depends on a diverse
pipeline of prepared, talented students. Success means not only passing the bar
exam, but achieving the requisite college, high-school, and elementary school
milestones — all of which depend on the core foundation of being ready for
school upon entry.
The Barristers’ Breakfast brings together members of the greater MSP legal
community to support children at a critical point in their development. While
the challenges of 2020 mean we won’t see you in person for pastries and coffee
this year, we hope that you will join us online for a mission moment to start
your day.
We are excited to welcome this year’s keynote speaker, Ellie Krug!
In 2009, when she was a civil trial attorney in Cedar Rapids with 100+
trials, Ellen (Ellie) Krug transitioned from male to female; she later became
one of the few attorneys nationally to try jury cases in separate genders. Ellie
presently lives in Minneapolis and is the founder and president of Human
Inspiration Works, LLC (www.humaninspirationworks.com).
