New Maplewood School Named After Alan Page

December 01, 2020

The North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School Board voted to name a new Maplewood elementary school in honor of former Associate Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court and retired professional football player Alan C. Page.

"Justice Page has been a friend to District 622 and a supporter to many of our alumni and staff of color in their pursuit of higher education," said Superintendent Christine Tucci Osorio. "His legacy will have a positive impact on our school community for generations to come."

Justice Alan Page Elementary, now under construction on the site of Maplewood Middle School, will open in September 2022. The new school is the second to be named after Justice Page.

Kneedler Retires After 160 SCOTUS Arguments

After presenting his 160th—and final—argument before the U.S. Supreme Court, ALI member Edwin S. Kneedler, the longest-serving deputy solicitor general in modern history, received a rare and emotional tribute: a standing ovation from the justices and audience alike. Known for his unmatched legal acumen, nonpartisan integrity, and commitment to the rule of law, Kneedler spent more than four decades representing the United States before the Court. His retirement marks the end of an era, and his legacy stands in sharp contrast to growing concerns about politicization in government legal work. Described by colleagues across administrations as a "national treasure" and the "embodiment of the government lawyer ideal," Kneedler leaves behind a legacy of quiet excellence, humility, and unwavering public service.
