MINNEAPOLIS (March 2, 2009) – International law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP is pleased to announce that George G. Eck, a partner in Minneapolis trial group, has been admitted to the American College of Trial Lawyers (ACTL).

“Over a long, productive and distinguished career George has established himself as a pre-eminent litigator,” said Dorsey Managing Partner Marianne Short. “Firm clients depend on his judgment and appreciate his focused – but congenial – tenacity.
