Conciliation Court Clinic Manual
The manual below was created for Volunteer Lawyers Network clinics by Faegre & Benson LLP and VLN, and generously made available to pro bono and legal aid practitioners statewide through this page. The manual includes references to forms and procedures in Hennepin County. However, Conciliation Courts are available statewide and most of the information in the manual has statewide applicability. The manual will be revised during the summer of 2010 to include more statewide references.
