For lawyers in private practice, corporate counsel, businesses, organizations, and government, we have a powerful subscriber edition built around our fully explorable law practice problem solving environment and intellectual capital system, Laugment.TM

It's an advanced lawyer augmentation system delivered in the form of a knowledge graph.

Laugment provides advanced, easy-to-use law practice thinking architecture via your desktop or handheld device browser.

As of January 1, 2023, Laugment knows more than 400,000 words and phrases. Because they are interconnected by 1,700,000 smart relationships, Laugment functions as an intellectual network extending your own mind. It also serves as a dynamic semantically-powered gateway to the best of the larger legal Web. If you don't have scores of dedicated knowledge management lawyers working on your behalf -- or, frankly, even if you do -- you need Laugment.

As a lawyer, you need an advanced lawyer-built law practice knowledge assistant / electronic mentor in myriad ways in your daily practice. But until Laugment came along, the Legal Web had no "brain" to make it more useful to practicing lawyers. The empty search box can't do what Laugment can do - make your most valuable asset -- your legal mind -- sharper, quicker, and more creative than ever. How? By providing you with a functioning "intellectual exoskeleton" magnifying your law practice mind -- one based on years of law practice modeling and real time legal transactive memory effects.

Here's what others have said.

And if you're an institutional client, or an in-house lawyer who hires outside counsel, let's talk about how we can mutually support your law firms' leap into 21st century-style value-magnified law practice.

Call us or ask us to call you.

Disclaimer: Laugment is not intended to substitute for a lawyer but rather to amplify the powers of smart people in real time and improve the lawyering process.

GOVERNOR APPOINTS JOHNSON TO FIFTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

(St. Paul, MN) Governor Jesse Ventura today announced the appointment of Kurt Johnson to a Fifth Judicial District trial court bench vacancy in the city of Mankato in Blue Earth County.  The opening occurred with the retirement of the Honorable James Mason on May 4, 2002.  Twenty-two people applied for this vacancy.

Johnson is an attorney and partner in the New Ulm office of the law firm Gislason and Hunter, a position he has held since 1987.  He was an associate attorney in the firm's predecessor, Gislason, Dosland, Hunter and Malecki from 1983 to 1987.  Johnson earned his juris doctorate degree from William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul in 1983 and his bachelor of arts degree from St. Olaf College in Northfield in 1979.

"Kurt comes across as a gentle and kind man," Governor Ventura said.  "These are qualities that will make the people who appear before him feel more at ease in what is often an intimidating moment in their lives.  I know that as a judge, Kurt will be firm, but also respectful."

Johnson is a volunteer attorney for Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services, has served as a judge and evaluator at William Mitchell College of Law for the Trial Advocacy and Advance Trial Advocacy classes.  He is a qualified alternative dispute resolution neutral in mediation and arbitration and is certified as a civil trial specialist by the Minnesota State Bar Association's Civil Litigation Section.  Johnson's community activities include coaching youth soccer and basketball, Boy Scouts, United Way of New Ulm, Lions Club of New Ulm and serving on the New Ulm Area School District's Long-Range Planning Task Force.

Johnson, 44, was born in New Ulm, grew up in Springfield, and resides in New Ulm with his wife, Anne-Lise. They have one son, Peder, 6.
