How are board members selected/appointed?
• The State Court Administrator solicits applications for Board members. The Minnesota Supreme Court appoints members to the ADR Review Board. • The ADR Ethics Board makes recommendations to the Minnesota Supreme Court, which appoints members. The Ethics Board considers applicants’ professional experiences and commitment to the importance of ADR in the MN court system. It also seeks to represent broad ADR backgrounds in its membership, and gender, racial, ethnic and geographic diversity, with members from throughout Minnesota. The Board also recommends applicants who contribute special expertise or knowledge on some aspect of policy that the Board expects to face in the near future. • The MN Bar Association ADR Section recommends members of the ADR Section to the ADR Ethics Board for the ADR Section liaison seat. The ADR Ethics Board then makes recommendations to the MN Supreme Court.
