Courts in Minnesota
Most civil and criminal matters in Minnesota start in the state's trial courts and can be reviewed on appeal, though some matters begin in federal, administrative, or specialized forums. Which courthouse handles a case depends on where you live and what kind of case it is. Court-by-court guides for Minnesota are in preparation.
What is coming next for this page: city pages for Minneapolis and other metros, practice area pages, and the first attorney listings, built from public bar records. We publish in small waves and only link what already exists.
Official resources in Minnesota
Two official sources sit behind every Minnesota listing and are worth knowing directly: the licensing body that verifies every attorney here, and the court system that will hear most cases.
- Minnesota Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board is where Minnesota attorney licenses are issued and where you can check any attorney's standing yourself.
- Minnesota Judicial Branch publishes court locations, filing rules, and self-help information for Minnesota cases.
