The location for the oral arguments in SaveWCAL's Appeal of its Petition To Redress Breach Of Trust has been changed. The hearing will be held on Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 10:40 a.m.
The public is encouraged to attend.
The hearing will now be held in Courtroom 300 at the Minnesota Judicial Center. The Minnesota Judicial Center is located in St. Paul, Minnesota — next to the State Capitol building.
Please be aware that the court has directed the attorneys to be present one-half hour early in case a previous case settles. Therefore, you may want to arrive early to make sure that you do not miss the hearing, which could begin earlier than scheduled.
The case has been assigned to Judges Francis J. Connolly, Michelle Ann Larkin and Heidi S. Schellhas.
NOTE: There is a significant difference between oral arguments in a trial court and in an appellate court. In a trial court the oral argument is often a set piece with the judge asking few, if any, questions. The reverse is true in an appellate court. There may be numerous questions from the bench, and the exchanges between the attorneys and the judges are the most important part.
Excellent parking directions/instructions are available on the Minnesota State Law Library web site. Please note that the parking ramp at Regions Hospital is an alternative to the state lots, which have meters.
