Dayton to Appoint David Lillehaug to Minnesota Supreme Court

Minnesota Lawyer is reporting that Governor Dayton has selected David Lillehaug as the newest member of the Minnesota Supreme Court. Soon-to-be Justice Lillehaug will replace Justice Paul H. Anderson, slated to retire in May.

This appointment comes on the heels of Governor Dayton’s recent appointment of Justice Wilhelmina M. Wright last September, and marks his second appointment to the state’s highest court.

We’d simply like to take this moment to join the rest of the legal community in congratulating Mr. Lillehaug while looking forward to arguing before him in the future.
