  • A Primer on Changes Wrought in the Wake of Justice David Lillehaug's
    OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE MINNESOTA STATE BAR ASSOCIATION VOLUME LXXVII NUMBER X NOVEMBER 2020 www.mnbar.org A primer on changes wrought in the wake of Justice David Lillehaug’s 2016 article on unpublished appellate decisions ‘PUBLISHED’ AND ‘UNPUBLISHED’ REVISITED BY JEFF MARKOWITZ AND STEPHEN WARNER 14 Bench&Bar of Minnesota s November 2020 www.mnbar.org A primer on changes wrought in the wake of Justice David Lillehaug’s 2016 article on unpublished appellate decisions ustice David Lillehaug garnered much at- tention when, in a December 2016 cover story in these pages, he called for five changes to the law governing publication J of Minnesota Court of Appeals opinions.1 Effective August 1, 2020, the repeal of Minn. Stat. §480A.08, subd. 3(c)2 and amendments to the Minnesota Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure3 have largely implemented three of Justice Lillehaug’s suggestions and fur- thered the spirit of the other two. Litigants have good cause to believe that citing unpublished court of appeals opinions in briefing is worthwhile. Such opinions are not binding, but they can—and do—per- suade. The court of appeals has made that clear by expressly following unpublished opin- ions in at least three unpublished opinions and eight published opinions. And the Min- nesota Supreme Court has cited such unpub- lished opinions at least twice. But a few misconceptions must be dis- pelled to understand the lay of the land with respect to what were known, until the recent amendments, as unpublished decisions. As we will discuss in more detail, whether Minne- sota Supreme Court decisions are published or unpublished is irrelevant to whether they are binding; they are always binding prec- edent (as long as they are majority opinions, or unanimous4).

  • 2016 Annual Report of the Minnesota Judicial Branch
    Report to the Community The 2016 Annual Report of the Minnesota Judicial Branch Minnesota Judicial Branch • 25 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. • Saint Paul, MN 1 Letter from the Chief Justice Dear fellow Minnesotans, On behalf of the judges and staff of the Minnesota Judicial Branch, I am pleased to present the 2016 Annual Report to the Community. This report highlights the efforts of the Minnesota Judicial Branch to improve and enhance the delivery of justice in our state. By constitutional imperative and statute, Minnesota’s courts must provide an open door for justice. The state’s Constitution promises every Minnesotan the right “to obtain justice freely…promptly and without delay.” This promise guides the work of the Minnesota Judicial Branch. The pages that follow will detail the many ways the Judicial Branch worked in 2016 to increase the efficiency of our courts, improve outcomes for court participants, and expand access to justice in Minnesota. These include: • Building on our successful transition to electronic court records, which has increased convenience for court users, and made it easier than ever before for the public to interact with their court; • Establishing more drug courts and other treatment court programs throughout the state, making this proven and effective criminal justice model available to more Minnesotans; • Expanding our nation-leading efforts to provide help and support to people who choose to represent themselves in court proceedings; • Providing long overdue increases to the per diem and mileage reimbursement paid to jurors; and • Launching the first statewide initiative aimed at improving the safety and security of our courthouses.
