Edward Wallin 6034

Retired Justice Ed Wallin grew up in Minnesota in a large family. His parents had skipped two grades in school and graduated in 1930 and 1931, respectively. He attended public school in Minneapolis and went on to college and law school at the University of Minnesota. During college, he was inspired by Hubert Humphrey's example of public service. He graduated from law school in 1967 and was offered a job at the Dorsey firm in Minneapolis. However, he was encouraged by a friend and a dean to interview with two California firms, and he accepted a job offer from Kindel & Anderson in Los Angeles. He has since become an expert in civil procedure.
