The Minnesota State Bar Association is proud to recognize members who provide 50 hours or more of pro bono legal services per year as North Star Lawyers.
Lawyers who serve low-income Minnesotans without charge should be celebrated. They help people who otherwise could not afford counsel achieve justice. For hours volunteered in calendar year 2022, the MSBA gave special recognition to 685 members who provide 50 hours or more of legal services as defined in Rule 6.1(a), (b)(1) and (b)(2) of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
