Alex Baker Kroeger and Marcus Jardine<\/p><\/div>\n
The project is spearheaded by students Alex Baker Kroeger and Marcus Jardine, both executive online editors with the law review. Kroeger, from Minnetonka, Minn., is a third-year student in Mitchell Hamline\u2019s part-time evening program. She works full time in marketing in downtown Minneapolis. Jardine, from Prince Edward Island, Canada, is a third-year student in the full-time program.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to create something that more people could read and learn from,\u201d Kroeger said of the blog. People who read Minnesota Lawyer or similar publications would probably enjoy the blog, she said. It\u2019s not as strictly academic as the law review, it allows for a bit more opinion, and it\u2019s a great way for young lawyers to be published and get their name out there. Plus, she said, it\u2019s a way to continue \u201cmodernizing\u201d the law review, which already publishes an online-only issue called \u201cSua Sponte.\u201d<\/p>\n
Authors for the blog\u2014including judges, attorneys, and academics\u2014are mostly from Minnesota. \u201cWe\u2019ve been getting a lot of support from the local community, and we\u2019re really thankful for that. We\u2019re hoping this continued support enables us to expose readers to many interesting and rewarding areas of law,\u201d said Jardine.<\/p>\n
The blog will be under new management each year because the law review has a new board of editors each year, and Jardine and Kroeger are preparing to pass the torch soon. \u201cThere is a lot of room for creativity with the blog, and it\u2019ll be exciting to see where future years take it,\u201d Jardine said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmicus Curiae\u201d currently has about half a dozen articles, including a few from judges and a few from attorneys. The editors invite submissions, preferably 500-700 words. March\u2019s theme is immigration and international law. The next topic will be class actions, and April\/May will focus on Indian law, featuring a piece from Minnesota Supreme Court Associate Justice Anne McKeig, a 1992 graduate of Hamline University School of Law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Mitchell Hamline Law Review is taking another step into the digital world with the launch of a blog that aims to raise the law review\u2019s profile and provide an outlet for general-interest articles on legal issues. The \u201cAmicus Curiae\u201d blog, launched in early February, publishes submissions on recent happenings in the law on a … <\/p>\n
