Minnesota Supreme Court chief justice to retire
Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson will soon retire from the high court after serving as the state’s first Black chief justice.
Gov. Tim Walz on Monday thanked Hudson for her service and said her career was “marked by profound integrity, wisdom and grace.”
“Chief Justice Hudson stands among the giants of Minnesota history,” Walz said in a statement. “She will be remembered not only for the glass ceilings she shattered but for a lifetime of service to those seeking fairness and justice in our courts. The rule of law is stronger than ever in Minnesota, and it is in no small part due to her steady leadership.”
Among her most memorable decisions was a dissent in Cruz-Guzman v. the State of Minnesota, the long-running school desegregation lawsuit: Hudson decried the decision’s mandate that parents prove that racial segregation causes academic disparities.
