Each year the Legal Services Advocacy Project (LSAP) compiles a comprehensive review (with citations) of Minnesota law changes that, in whole or significant part, impact Legal Aid’s clients. The 2023 legislative session produced perhaps the most momentous and transformative set of legislation in Minnesota’s history.

LSAP’s Legislative Session Summaries are divided by substantive law topic area and reflect the law changes made by the 2023 Minnesota Legislature. They are available for download here: 2023-Session-Summaries.pdf (mylegalaid.org).

LSAP staff attorneys Jessica Webster, Ellen Smart, and Ron Elwood work on discrete and systemic policy issues that impact the lives of thousands of Minnesotans. Their outstanding and historic work this session was lauded on the back cover of Attorney at Law Magazine’s September edition, which outlines some of the far-reaching legislative changes they championed.
