Opportunity to meet Minnesota Supreme Court coming to the Range

The Minnesota Supreme Court will hold oral arguments in Range in a few weeks.

And they will be at the Minnesota Supreme Court Community Dinner, which will be held on Wednesday the 2nd in Fortune Bay.

“We encourage members of the community, especially parents and students, to join us for the community dinner,” added Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson. “It’s a great way to get to know each other in an informal setting, ask questions and just enjoy each other’s company.”

Judge Bhupesh Pattni of the 6th Judicial District said he has spoken with a few judges and they are excited to come here.

Dinner tickets are $25, which covers the cost of the meal. Tickets can be purchased until noon on Monday, September 23. Tickets will not be available at the door.

It is NOT open to the public, but you can watch it online. Following oral arguments, the judges will have lunch with student representatives and visit classrooms for one-on-one education sessions.
