20th Anniversary Celebration & MWL Wahl Lecture

Save the Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2009. The whole date.

Two important events fill the day: The 20th Anniversary Commemoration of the Minnesota Supreme Court Gender Fairness in the Court Report, and the MWL Rosalie Wahl Leadership Lecture. Both events happen at the Crowne Plaza in St. Paul.

20th Anniversary Commemoration
This Commemoration is in recognition of the Minnesota Supreme Court's establishment of a Task Force to explore gender bias in the court system, and the 1989 report where the Task Force presented its findings and recommendations.

The Commemoration is an opportunity for the gender fairness task force to show its improvements and continue the dialog on what still needs discussion and improvement. The event starts with lunch and a keynote address at 12 p.m., followed by three panel discussions, ending the event at 5 p.m.

CLE credits are being applied for--both more information and registration is here.

Rosalie Wahl Lecture
Next, MWL welcomes Eleanor D. Acheson as keynote speaker for the 2009 Wahl Lecture. Acheson is Vice-President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary for Amtrak. The event will begin with registration and a reception at 5:30 p.m., the keynote lecture at 6 p.m., and a reception to follow. Registration can be done here.
