As an organization dedicated to mentoring law students of color and encouraging them to enter the appellate world, we understand how disheartening recent Supreme Court decisions and lower court challenges can be. One of our TAP mentors, Antonio L. Ingram II, Esq., Assistant Counsel for NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., shares where he draws hope: "In these challenging times, we draw hope from the Black National Anthem: 'God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray.' Yes, setbacks abound, and abject injustice seems ubiquitous. Yet, our testimony isn’t over. If we persist, we will behold the goodness of God." We believe in the power of perseverance and the strength of our collective resolve. We have faced immense challenges before and emerged stronger. Our journey is far from over, and our fight for justice continues. To our mentees and all aspiring lawyers of color: let us stand together, support one another, and keep pushing forward. We will overcome and build an appellate bar that looks more like America. #nextgen #SCOTUS #AppellateLinkedIn

Every Minnesota licensed lawyer is required by the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct to “aspire” to provide 50 hours of pro bono service each year: “Rule 6.1 Voluntary Pro Bono Publico Service Every lawyer has a professional responsibility to provide legal services to those unable to pay. A lawyer should aspire to render at least 50 hours of pro bono publico legal services per year. In fulfilling this responsibility, the lawyer should:” If you are a licensed Minnesota lawyer, are you aspiring to reach that goal?

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the service I have received from Intoxalock. My experience thus far has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I recently arranged for an Intoxalock ignition interlock device (IID) to be installed in [Vehicle Owner's Name]'s vehicle. Despite being told it would take 1-3 hours to install, it has now been four days since my appointment was scheduled, and the device still has not been installed due to a defective product sent by Intoxalock. Furthermore, I am extremely displeased with the payment terms imposed by Intoxalock. I was informed that automatic payments are mandatory and was asked to pay a deposit of $109.00 upfront, which was never disclosed i TODAYView Davendra’s profile 7/24/24 today I got a lockout message with no explanation even though theres a camera. Davendra Singh 6:06 PM 👏 👍 😊Hello, I'm currently facing serious issues with Intoxalock. Despite my efforts to comply with their requirements, I'm at risk of being locked out of my vehicle. When I contacted customer service, they demanded a $75 fee, accusing me of missing a test. This accusation is unfounded since I seldom drive the vehicle, merely moving it around the block to prevent it from stalling. There's a camera installed in the car that can verify my activities within 24 hours, proving my innocence. Moreover, I neither drink alcohol nor use drugs. I feel unfairly targeted and suspect that Intoxalock profits from these $75 lockouts without offering clear explanations. The upcoming lockout in 4 days leaves me with no choice but to use the car again. This situation feels oppressive and reminiscent of mafia tactics.
We’ll be at the Missouri Bar DWI Conference in Lake Ozark, MO as a Silver Sponsor.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect and explore how we can support your legal practice. See you in the Ozarks!
