On Oct. 13, there will be a celebration held at the Courthouse in honor of Judge Maxwell’s judicial and professional career in the downstairs City Conference Rooms 40A and B between 3-4:30 p.m. Please come and join us to celebrate!
The event will be in person and will be recorded. And light refreshments will be available immediately after the program. This is a collaboration between the Ramsey County Law Library and the Ramsey County Bar Association.
