Shareholder Susan M. Robiner has been appointed by Governor Tim Pawlenty as district court judge to the 4th Judicial District serving Hennepin County.

The appointment of Robiner and two other judicial appointees were announced at a news conference at the Capitol on July 17.

“Our firm certainly regrets losing an attorney of Susan’s caliber and professional standing,” said Joseph M. Finley, firm president. “But we are happy that the Court is gaining a judge who will bring such great experience, intelligence and wisdom to the bench. And we are very happy for Susan, who wants to devote the next phase of her professional life to public service.”

Robiner is a 1981 graduate of Carleton College and received her law degree from Georgetown University Law Center in 1985. She joined Leonard, Street and Deinard in 1985 and most recently served as Chair of the firm’s Intellectual Property and Information Technology Department. She has been honored as a “Rising Star” and “Super Lawyer” numerous times by Minnesota Law & Politics and is recognized in Chambers USA as one of “America’s Leading Business Lawyers.” She also serves as adjunct professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Law.
