Minnesota Lawyer caught up with Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid Attorney Sarah McGuire. In her eight years at MMLA St. Cloud, she’s helped more than 1,250 households impacted by domestic violence. She’s also the 2023 recipient of the Becker Emerging Leader Award.
The Minnesota Department of Education agreed, our client, a senior in high school, should not have been expelled. But when MDE ordered the school to reinstate him, they refused.
