Advocacy in the Courts
Regulatory Agencies

Decisions made by the courts and administrative agencies can have as much consequence to businesses as does new legislation. The Minnesota Chamber has filed legal briefs and participated in administrative rulemaking/contested case proceedings on behalf of its members for several years and often with successful results.

KEY INITIATIVES INCLUDE:

Our Litigation Committee formally reviews requests for amicus briefs for both state and federal courts. We will prepare a brief only if a case raises an issue of consequence to the general business community.
The Minnesota Chamber has increased its presence in regulatory proceedings, especially before the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
