Expand/CollapseHISTORICAL NOTE

Law Advocates of Hennepin County was organized in 1962 as Lawyers' Wives of Hennepin County "to promote the aims of their husbands' chosen profession," to develop law-related educational projects, and to provide social contact for the members. About 1991, the name was changed to Lawyers, Advocates and Wives of Hennepin County (frequently condensed to L.A.W. of Hennepin County) and, finally, to Law Advocates of Hennepin County. Projects through the years have concerned Lino Lakes Correctional Facility for juveniles, the guardian ad litem program, prevention of child abuse, and fund raising for educational projects. The organization disbanded around 2011.
