## Ten counties across central Minnesota

The district includes Becker, Benton, Clay, Douglas, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Otter Tail, Stearns, Todd, and Wadena counties.

Justice-Denied’s reporting has focused particularly on proceedings in Otter Tail County, while recognizing that the Seventh Judicial District spans a much broader region and court system.
