SUPREME COURT HEARING The Minnesota Supreme Court heard arguments in State v. Jorgenson at the School of Law in early March.

PUTTING A BUSINESS ON HOLD TO HELP WITH COVID-19

In response to the pandemic, Phil Steger ’13 J.D ., who is the owner of Brother Justus Whiskey, has put distilling on hold to partner with other Twin Cities distilleries to form All Hands and make hand sanitizer for area shelters, congregate care facilities, first responders and other high-risk organizations on the front lines. “Brother Justus is just a drop in the ocean of need, so we are focusing all our efforts on directing those drops to where they will do the most good for the most vulnerable and have the biggest impact on ‘flattening the curve,’” said Steger. “When we delivered one of our distillery’s first buckets of hand sanitizer, staff at Higher Ground in downtown St. Paul met us with the biggest grins! By the looks of it, there were only one or two pumps left in the last bottle they had, and guests were lining up at the door.”
