In August, Governor Walz appointed Karl Procaccini to fill a vacancy on the Minnesota Supreme Court. In announcing the appointment, Governor Walz said, “Karl understands how legal decisions impact the lives of Minnesotans. There is no one more prepared for the rigors and challenges that come with this important position. I know that Karl will continue to improve the lives of Minnesotans in this important role.” Lieutenant Governor Flanagan said, “Time and time again, he has proven to be courageous, honest, fair, compassionate, and dedicated to the rule of law. Lives across the state of Minnesota have been changed for the better through his work, and I look forward to watching him continue to serve Minnesotans and uphold justice in this role.”
