SiebenCarey Attorney Susan M. Holden Inducted Into the International Academy of Trial Lawyers
Minneapolis, Minnesota--(Newsfile Corp. - July 31, 2025) - Susan M. Holden of Minneapolis-based SiebenCarey Personal Injury Law was inducted as a Fellow into the International Academy of Trial Lawyers (IATL) during the organization's recent 2025 Mid-Year Meeting.
'Selection as a Fellow at the Academy represents a pinnacle career accomplishment in the legal profession,' said Jim Carey, SiebenCarey's managing partner. 'It's the real deal, and no surprise to us. Susan has served her clients and the profession at the highest levels, earning her place among the giants of the trial Bar.'
The International Academy of Trial Lawyers is an invitation-only fellowship of lawyers with a singular mission-to protect and promote the Rule of Law. Founded in 1954, the Academy comprises the world's top trial lawyers, as measured by skill, experience, ethics, and civility. It represents both sides of the trial bar: prosecutors and defense lawyers in criminal cases; plaintiff and defense counsel in civil litigation.
'Standing shoulder to shoulder with so many remarkable lawyers was truly humbling and inspiring,' Holden said of the induction ceremony held July 25, in Vancouver, British Columbia. 'I look forward to furthering the Academy's mission to learn, mentor, and drive justice forward.'
Holden's peers have also selected her for several of the profession's other most prestigious membership organizations, including the American College of Trial Lawyers, the International Society of Barristers, and the American Board of Trial Advocates. Holden also earned certification as a Civil Trial Specialist by the Minnesota State Bar Association in 1995, a distinction held by fewer than 1% of Minnesota lawyers.
Holden's primary practice area is personal injury and wrongful death cases. She is a partner at SiebenCarey and has been representing injured individuals and their families at the firm since graduating from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in 1988.
She currently resides in Blaine, Minn.

Richardson exits 200m at US trials, Coleman through
Sha'Carri Richardson failed to reach the final of the 200m at the US Track and Field Championships in Oregon on Sunday, ending a turbulent week that saw her arrested for domestic violence. Richardson, the reigning 100m champion, finished fourth in her heat in a time of 22.56secs, leaving her just outside the qualifying spots for Sunday's final at Hayward Field in Eugene. The 25-year-old Texan star, who has already qualified for September's Tokyo World Championships as the reigning 100m world champion, did not comment after her race other than to wish reporters a "blessed day." Richardson was arrested and detained last Sunday after allegedly assaulting boyfriend Christian Coleman as the couple passed through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, who won Friday's 100m, was the quickest qualifier for the 200m final, beating Olympic champion Gabby Thomas into second place. Jefferson-Wooden clocked 22.06secs in her heat, with Thomas just behind in 22.19secs. Richardson's partner Coleman, meanwhile, qualified for Sunday's men's 200m final, finishing second in his heat in 20.20secs, just behind world champion Noah Lyles in 19.97secs. Lyles, who is already qualified for Tokyo as the reigning 100m and 200m world champion, made a smooth start and accelerated into a lead off the bend before holding off Coleman and Kyree King. Lyles reached the final with the quickest time of the heats, with two-time Olympic 200m silver medallist Kenny Bednarek second fastest in 19.99secs. rcw/bb

Suspect in fatal shooting of four in Montana bar could be heading back to town, authorities warn
The manhunt for a military veteran accused of fatally shooting four people at a Montana bar stretched into the third day Sunday, as authorities warned locals to be vigilant as the violent gunman may return to town. Authorities believe the suspect, Army veteran Michael Paul Brown, killed four people Friday morning at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, about 25 miles northwest of Butte. Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said Sunday that Brown lived next door to the bar and was a regular. Authorities believe he used his own weapon in the shooting. Knudsen warned residents in the town of 9,000 to stay vigilant, as Brown may try to return to the area. He was described as being 'armed and extremely dangerous.' 'This is an unstable individual who walked in and murdered four people in cold blood for no reason whatsoever. So there absolutely is concern for the public,' Knudsen said. Several public events were canceled over the weekend, and parts of a national forest nearby were shuttered as authorities' manhunt for the gunman entered its third day. Barker Lake and the surrounding area inside the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest were on lockdown, as investigators say they are considering all possibilities for Brown's whereabouts. Brown's niece, Clare Boyle, told the Associated Press that her uncle has struggled with mental illness for years – despite her and other relatives repeatedly seeking help on his behalf. 'This isn't just a drunk/high man going wild,' she said. 'It's a sick man who doesn't know who he is sometimes and frequently doesn't know where or when he is either.' Authorities also said Sunday that Brown, who served in the Army as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005, was 'known' to local law enforcement before the shooting. It's believed he knew at least some of the victims, though authorities have not provided any information about the deceased. Law enforcement shared a photograph of Brown taken on surveillance footage just after the shootings. In the image, he appeared gaunt and wearing minimal clothing. Brown fled the area in a white pick-up truck, but ditched the vehicle sometime after, according to Lee Johnson, administrator of the Montana Division of Criminal Investigations. However, authorities now say he may have stole a different vehicle that held camping gear, shoes and clothing – meaning he may now be clothed. He was last seen Friday afternoon near Stump Town, authorities said. There's a $7,500 reward for any information that leads to Brown's capture. 'This is still Montana. Montanans know how to take care of themselves. But please, if you have any sightings, call 911,' Knudsen said. With reporting by the Associated Press.

James Cook sits out Bills' practice Sunday, calls it "business"
Bills running back James Cook has made it known he wants a contract extension, and he skipped the team's voluntary offseason workouts to express his displeasure at not having one. Cook, though, attended the mandatory minicamp and fully participated in the first eight practices of training camp. On Sunday, he rested. Cook did not participate in practice for the first time during camp, watching from the side in street clothes and spending time on an exercise bicycle. "Oh, nothing," Cook said, via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. "Business." Cook also answered "business" when asked whether he was holding in and about whether he planned to practice Monday. The Bills had no comment on Cook's non-participation, per Getzenberg, and Cook was not included in coach Sean McDermott's list of injured players sitting out Sunday's session. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the sides have engaged in talks and are "not . . . that far apart." Cook wants to be paid like one of the top running backs in the league after making $4.257 million for his first three seasons. He is due to make $5.271 million in base salary this season in the final year of his rookie deal. Cook, a second-round pick in 2022, has rushed for 2,638 yards and 20 touchdowns in his career. The two-time Pro Bowler also has caught 97 passes for 883 yards with seven touchdowns. The Bills extended the contracts of cornerback Christian Benford, defensive end Greg Rousseau, linebacker Terrel Bernard and wide receiver Khalil Shakir this offseason. Cook insinuated on social media early in the offseason that he was looking for $15 million a season, something that is unlikely with any team. Saquon Barkley ($20.6 million per season), Christian McCaffrey ($19 million) and Derrick Henry ($15 million) are the only running backs making at least that much per season.
