Edward Fox Recertified as a MSBA Civil Trial Specialist
Date: May 23, 2009 — Minneapolis, MN
Bassford Remele is pleased to announce that Shareholder Edward F. Fox has been recertified by the Minnesota State Bar Association as a Civil Trial Specialist.
Certification refers to an attorney who has completed a rigorous approval process to establish full qualification for reliable experience and skills in their specialty area. Board certified lawyers are legal experts dedicated to professional excellence.
Certification is the highest level of recognition by the Minnesota State Bar Association of the competency and experience of attorneys in the areas of law approved for certification by the Minnesota Board of Legal Certification. "Specialist certification helps prospective clients identify an attorney who can assist them in a highly professional manner and has grown in importance as the number of lawyers continues to increase and the areas of law become ever more complex," states former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice James H. Gilbert.
MSBA Board Certified Civil Trial Law Specialists have participated in the preparation and trial of significant civil cases. They are familiar with the negotiation and pre-trial process, as well as with the rules of evidence, procedure, and law involved in civil cases. This certification makes Mr. Fox one of a limited number of attorneys in Minnesota to have earned the credential.
The Minnesota State Bar Association Board Certified Civil Trial Specialist credential is earned by successfully completing a day-long examination, demonstrating a substantial level of experience and legal education in trial skills, passing a disciplinary check and successfully obtaining objective review by judges and attorneys who have actually seen them in court appearances. Compliance with certification standards is audited every year. Every six years the specialist must be recertified to insure that the attorney has maintained his expertise.
In addition to Mr. Fox, the following Bassford Remele attorneys have also been certified by the Minnesota State Bar Association as Board Certified Civil Trial Specialists:
John M. Anderson
Stanford P. Hill
Mark P. Hodkinson
Michael A. Klutho
Andrew L. Marshall
Rebecca Egge Moos
