Paul Anderson
The three finalists to replace the retiring Justice Paul Anderson on the Minnesota Supreme Court were announced.
They are:
Judge Edward J. Cleary sits on the Minnesota Court of Appeals as judge for the Fourth Congressional District. He previously served as judge and Assistant Chief Judge for the Second Judicial District. From 1997-2002, Cleary served as the Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility. Prior to that, he practiced law for 20 years, concentrating on criminal defense and civil litigation. He is a past president of the Ramsey County Bar Association and served on the Minnesota State Bar Association Governing Council. In addition, Cleary served as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota Law School from 2000-2012.
Judge Natalie E. Hudson sits on the Minnesota Court of Appeals as an at large judge. Prior to her appointment to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, she served as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Minnesota in the Criminal Appeals and Health Licensing Divisions. Hudson has also served as the City Attorney for the City of St. Paul, and was the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at the Hamline University School of Law. She is a member of the American Bar Association’s Judicial Division and is a member of the Minnesota Women Lawyers Advisory Board.
David L. Lillehaug is a former United States Attorney for Minnesota. Lillehaug is an officer and shareholder with Fredrikson & Byron. His litigation practice focuses on public law and complex cases – civil, criminal, and administrative – with a particular emphasis on state and federal constitutional issues. He serves on three non-profit boards and on the Minnesota State Bar Association’s Mock Trial Program Advisory Committee.
Anderson is set to retire in May. No word on when his replacement will be named.
