 The oral histories of Justices Sandy Keith, Sandra Gardebring, and Peter Popovich have been digitized and are available to stream online.
Starting in the 1970s, Minnesota began collecting the histories of Supreme Court Justices. This included recording interviews with those who served on Minnesota's highest court about their lives and judicial careers. Many of these recordings have been digitized. You can now stream the interviews of Justices Sandra Gardebring, Alexander M. (Sandy) Keith, and Peter S. Popovich through our Oral History Subject Guide. Additional oral histories will be added in the coming months. In the meantime, you can still read the transcripts and visit the library to view recordings in our collection.
 From 1858 to 1983, Minnesota tracked attorney registrations by having new attorneys sign their names in the rolls of attorneys. The rolls were the official record of an attorney's license to practice law, and of any discipline received by attorneys. The signatures of thousands of attorneys, including two who went on to be U.S. Supreme Court justices, can be found in the attorney rolls. The original roll books are maintained in our Special Collections, and this fantastic resource has also been digitized. You can view scans of the original rolls on Minnesota Reflections: Volume 1 and Volume 2. The attorney registration rolls were replaced in 1983 by the Minnesota Attorney Registration System, but Chief Justice Gildea revived the practice of signing the rolls at the May 11, 2018 swearing in ceremony for new attorneys. Congratulations to all the new Minnesota attorneys sworn in this month!
