OCBA
  • Please join us at 5:30 p.m. this Thursday, February 11, for our monthly member meeting!
    • The meeting is available here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82221966309?pwd=YldRMHdWNjhHOTNzZFBiam5QYUROZz09 
    • Agenda, treasurer's report, and January minutes are available here: https://www.olmstedbar.com/news1/meeting-documents-for-2112021.
    • We will discuss LAOC's 2021 funding request for $12,000.
    • We will discuss the viability of establishing an OCBA foundation to support our philanthropic endeavors.
    • Our guest speaker is Naquita Niles, Program Manager of Olmsted County's Diversity, Equity, and Outreach Program. 
      • Read more about Ms. Niles and the program here: https://www.medcitybeat.com/news-blog/2020/niles-appointed-to-lead-olmsted-countys-outreach-program.
  • Michael Walters, our representative on the OCJC, reported the following from Olmsted County Public Health:
    • Olmsted County businesses, including law firms and non-profit businesses, are encouraged to go to https://www.olmstedcounty.gov/covid/vaccine and click on “COVID-19 Vaccination Planning for Businesses” to file a vaccine planning form.  
      • Private-sector attorneys who have a speedy jury trial scheduled are particularly encouraged to complete the form. This does not guarantee higher priority for vaccination, but it will allow public health authorities a more complete picture of the vaccination needs for in-person court.
      • Government-employed attorneys (public defenders, county attorneys, etc.) should not use this form; government law offices are working directly with public health authorities for distribution of vaccines.


Olmsted County District Court
  • The Bench and Court Administration have decided to extend the current suspension of in-person hearings through the end of May.
    • Exceptions for jury trials will be granted in accordance with Chief Justice Gildea's order of January 21, 2021.
    • The full text of that order is available here: https://mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/CIOMediaLibrary/COVID-19/12121-Order.pdf.


Olmsted County Law Library
  • The Law Library has written a letter in support of LAOC's 2021 funding request.
    • The request is up for discussion at the Bar meeting this Thursday, February 11.  
    • Read the letter here: https://www.olmstedbar.com/news1/law-library-supports-laoc-2021-funding-request
  • Need to do some legal research and prefer to research from your home office?  The Olmsted County Law Library can help.  Due to COVID we are able to procure a temporary Westlaw password for our patrons.  If you’re interested, please contact us at (507) 218-3778 or staff@olmstedlawlibrary.com.
