Clifford M. Greene<\/p><\/div>\n

Prominent Twin Cities attorney Clifford Greene wrote a commentary\u00a0in support of the Mitchell\u00a0and\u00a0Hamline combination that appeared in the Thursday, March 5 edition of the Star Tribune<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Greene, co-founder of the Greene Espel law firm in Minneapolis, is one of Minnesota\u2019s most respected trial advocates. His impressive list of professional accomplishments includes being selected by Best Lawyers in America as the 2015 Minneapolis Lawyer of the Year for Litigation-Labor and Employment, serving as a former member of the Minnesota Supreme Court Task Force on Racial Bias in the Judicial System, being appointed to the Local Rules Advisory Committee by three different chief judges of the District of Minnesota, and receiving the Sidney Barrows Lifetime Commitment Award from the Minnesota Cardozo Society.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not attend either school. But I can attest that Mitchell and Hamline grads are formidable courtroom opponents. They are senior corporate counsel. Many choose a career in public service, helping to improve access to justice. They\u2019ve served as legislators, public officials, and federal and state court judges, including as justices on our Minnesota Supreme Court and (when I began practice) Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Greene was Mitchell\u2019s\u00a0first Distinguished Practitioner in Residence and served as a\u00a0member of the college\u2019s Board of Trustees. He\u00a0earned a bachelor\u2019s degree from Harvard University and J.D. from\u00a0Cornell Law School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
