Ramsey County Law Library Blog

On May 4, 2010, the Ramsey County Law Library was gifted a new book published by the Minnesota Supreme Court Historical Society.  The book is entitled “Testimony: Remembering Minnesota’s Supreme Court Justices.”    The Honorable Edward C. Stringer awarded the book to John Trojack, Ramsey County Law Library Board Chair.  Other law library board members attending the ceremony were Judge Margaret Marrinan, Commissioner Janice Rettman (who facilitated the event which took place before the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners), and Tom Boyd, who is a member of the law library board and the Minnesota Supreme Court Historical Society.  Law library director Sara Galligan also participated in the event. 

The book is a collection of memorials of all deceased supreme court justices to date.  It covers a wealth of biographical and institutional history.  Some of the past justices included in the book were former judges for the District Court of Ramsey County.  The event was part of the law library’s celebration of “Law Day,” with it theme “Law in the 21^st Century:  Enduring Traditions, emerging Challenges.”
