Part of a 1998 settlement between the State of Minnesota and the tobacco industry (Minnesota is not a signatory of the Master Settlement Agreement) resulted in the funding of the Public Health Law Center at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Mn.  This Center remains an outstanding and critical source of information about the role AG's have played and are playing vis-a-vis the tobacco industry.
