Tom Myers recognized as a North Star Lawyer

I was very pleased earlier this month to receive this communication from the Minnesota State Bar Association:

The MSBA is pleased to recognize you as a North Star Lawyer. In 2021, 747 North Star Lawyers provided more than 81,000 hours of pro bono service to people of low income at no fee, for a total value of over $20 million in free legal services. This program exists to show that meeting the aspirational goal of 50 hours of pro bono work is possible, valuable, and appreciated.  Thank you for your dedication to pro bono publico – work for the public good. 

This recognition particularly makes me happy because it brings to mind the memory of my dad, Thomas III, who was Executive Director of the MSBA from 1959 (the year I was born) to 1966 (the year he passed away - I was barely 7 years old). I never knew my Dad as an adult, but I do remember our pride in his work there. Thanks, MSBA!
