Helpful Legal Sites
There is a wealth of legal research and reference material available on the internet. Here are links to some of the ones that I find useful:
Minnesota Courts Homepage.
This is the first step to learn about the courts and have access to appellate decisions. From here you can also access the Minnesota State Law Library (shh, no talking please!):
http://www.mncourts.gov/
Minnesota State Legislature.
This site has access to Minnesota Rules & Statutes. It also has information on pending legislation. From here you can also find links allowing you to contact your senator and representative:

Office of Minneosta Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State's office has a lot of fascinating information about elections and voting in Minnesota. There is also a great section to learn about the history of Minnesota's counties, including how they got their names. A lot of great statistical information is waiting here for you to impress your friends with (you could be the next Cliff Clavin!):
