An attorney for Alan Page, a former Minnesota Viking defensive star, urged the Minnesota Supreme Court to clear the way for Page to run for a seat on the high court this fall.
Page, 46, a state assistant attorney general, is trying to become the first black to serve on the seven-member Supreme Court.
He wants to run for the seat held by Associate Justice Lawrence Yetka. But Gov.

Yetka’s term normally would expire in January.
