The year that was, 2020. From a global pandemic’s death and fear to severe economic recession; the death of George Floyd in police custody, civic unrest and public outcries for racial justice; a polarized electorate, and a challenged electoral system.
In the midst of the tumultuous year, Minnesota Lawyer’s class of Attorneys of the Year for 2020 addressed these and other important issues. This year’s awards highlight work protecting Minnesotans during the pandemic, establishing precedent for peacetime emergency, maintaining the integrity of Minnesota elections, protecting vulnerable prison populations during a deadly pandemic, restoring a lake’s name to Bde Maka Ska, and much more.

Executives, employees and customers at Branchville-based Selective Insurance Co. of America made the holiday season a little brighter by donating more than $30,000 to charitable causes during the company s inaugural Week of Giving.
The insurer kicked off the initiative, which ran from Dec. 14-18, by providing 400 laptops to the Kids in Need Foundation. The donation to benefit under-resourced students is especially helpful in the COVID-19 age where many children are learning virtually, Selective said in a statement last week.
“The digital divide is a systemic issue in education that has been magnified as a result of the global pandemic. With varying learning environments, access to the equipment and connectivity is a necessity for students to continue their education,” said Corey Gordon, the CEO of Kids In Need, a nonprofit that provides school supplies to underserved students.
Chipotle Mexican Grill today announced it is leveraging its new fundraising technology to help support under-resourced students returning to school. Through its first-ever digital fundraising program, Chipotle will support students across the country by donating 33% of fundraiser event sales back to local educational organizations using unique promotional codes. Over nearly a decade, three fourths of the brands in-restaurant fundraisers have been school related and raised more than $50 million for education-driven causes. Due to limitations with in-restaurant dining over the last few months, Chipotle has postponed these activities and is now introducing an online component to accompany the in-restaurant option.
