Last weekend, while you were at your cousin’s wedding reception, your Grandfather (who is always looking for free legal advice) approached you and said, “Your folks are so proud that you are taking BLAW at the Carlson School.  They said it was your all-time favorite class.  It was my favorite, too, back when I was there.  I had an unforgettable teacher name of Kramer.”  You tell him your teacher is also named Kramer.  He says, “Huh, what a coincidence.” He goes on:  “I want to pick your brain.  Aunt Karen was just telling me that there are some recent state and federal laws that limit or restrict NCAs.  I’ve been using NCAs for years and years for all my Minnesota employees.  Are these things still valid and enforceable these days?” Besides telling him to get a real lawyer because you really have to go to the bathroom, what advice do you give Gramps about federal and Minnesota laws on NCAs?  (Remember, you want to stay in the will.) Give Gramps 3 points worth of advice.
