Unauthorized Prosecutor

We reported an order of the Minnesota Supreme Court in a February 7 blog post involving an attorney who had engaged in unauthorized practice for 20 years. HowAppealing now updates the situation by linking to an article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune (registration required) that reports that the attorney in question was an Assistant Hennepin County Attorney who was spending those years prosecuting criminal cases. There appears to be criticism of the court’s sanction (reprimand with two years unsupervised probation) as unduly lenient under the circumstances. (Mike Frisch)
