Courtney Ernston Selected as a 2026 40 Under 40 Honoree

Congratulations to Courtney Ernston (BA '10) on being selected as a 40 Under 40 honoree for 2026 by the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal. The award honors young business leaders for their professional accomplishments and community involvement.

Courtney Ernston is transforming how legal teams support the business community. Ernston founded North Star Law in April 2023 as a primarily flat-fee firm rather than one with billable-hour requirements. This approach, designed to match legal services with transparency and efficiency, has resulted in clients engaging earlier and more openly faster client resolution, and improved client retention.
