MINNEAPOLIS – Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey released the following statement reacting to the news of City Attorney Susan Segal’s appointment to the Minnesota Court of Appeals:

“The dictionary would turn up short on superlatives to describe Susan Segal’s work. She has successfully defended groundbreaking city policies from minimum wage to paid sick leave. Her office has pioneered work advancing criminal justice reforms, including a first-in-the-state alternative to cash-bail and crucial diversion programs. And her legacy will stretch far beyond the Minneapolis city limits as other leaders look to her work as model for building more just cities. As a lawyer, as a colleague, and as a friend, she has been an invaluable servant for the people of Minneapolis. The Court of Appeals could not be adding a higher caliber justice than Susan Segal.”
