The Minnesota Court of Appeals provides the citizens of Minnesota with prompt and deliberate review of all final decisions of the trial courts, state agencies, and local governments

The court was established by the Legislature after voters approved a constitutional amendment to allow the creation of a court of appeals.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals, which began on November 1, 1983, provides the citizens of Minnesota with prompt and deliberate review of all final decisions of the trial courts, state agencies and local governments. As the error-correcting court, the Court of Appeals handles most of the appeals, which allows the Minnesota Supreme Court to spend time resolving difficult constitutional and public policy cases.

See Biographies of Minnesota Court of Appeals Judges, compiled by the Minnesota State Law Library, to learn more about individuals who have served on the court.
