Magistrate Judges, U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Marshals[edit]

A recent section on current magistrate judges was removed, as "inconsistent with similar court pages."

However, there is a widespread variety among the 94 district courts, based on population, number of Wikipedia editors residing therein, and degree of interest in local judicial history.

It would seem that lists of current and past magistrate judges are an important part of the history of the District of Minnesota. Likewise, U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Marshals, Federal Defenders, and perhaps even significant cases decided.

If too much material is inserted, as is customary when Wikipedia articles grow too unwieldy, parts can be spun off into their own pages -- such as USAO, etc., which as been done for other districts.

My only visits to Minnesota have been plane changes at MSP, so I do not intend to participate much further in this discussion.

Those with a greater interest in this topic, who will be making the actual contributions, might want to talk about this issue.

Beginning with the restoration of the list of current U.S. Magistrate Judges. SPN Lifer (talk) 07:26, 20 April 2020 (UTC)SPN Lifer (talk) 07:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)SPN Lifer (talk) 07:36, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
