Minnesota Law Schools
The law schools sometimes sponsor legal clinics to help
individuals and businesses meet their legal needs without hiring an
attorney. They also have law libraries you may be able to use.

Lawyer Screening & Evaluation
[▲top]
Find out whether your
attorney is licensed to practice law in Minnesota using the Attorney
Registration List. The list can also help you determine the
relative experience of various attorneys you are considering hiring.
Look up the attorney by name, and write down his/her ID number.
Do the same for the other attorneys on your list. The larger
the ID number, the newer and presumably, less-experienced, the
attorney.

reinstated and are currently practicing.
