November 20, 2003, Minneapolis, MN – Henson & Efron, P.A., partner Alan Eidsness has been inducted as a Fellow into the American College of Trial Lawyers, which is composed of the best of the trial bar from the U.S. and Canada. With membership into the College open to only one percent of the total lawyer population of any state or province, Eidsness’ induction is a significant recognition among all practicing attorneys. He is one of 55 Fellows in the State of Minnesota and the only one to devote a large part of his practice to family law.

In addition to being recognized in his practice area, Eidsness has served as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and at William Mitchell College of Law. He regularly presents continuing legal education seminars on family law topics including valuation of businesses, income taxes and marital dissolution, estate planning, and determination of division of retirement programs in marital dissolutions. He is a member of the Family Law and Litigation Sections of the American Bar Association, the Minnesota State Bar Association, and the Hennepin County Bar Association and is admitted to practice law in Minnesota, the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, and the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.

The American College of Trial Lawyers was founded in 1950 and strives to improve and elevate the standards of trial practice, the administration of justice and the ethics of the trial profession.
