Former state Rep. Paul Thissen sworn in to Minnesota Supreme Court

Former state Rep. Paul Thissen donned a black robe and joined the Minnesota Supreme Court on Tuesday, the only former legislator among the justices currently serving on the state’s highest court.

Thissen, appointed earlier this year by Gov. Mark Dayton, said at his swearing in ceremony that he’ll use that experience and time listening to residents across the state to guide his work in his new role.
