VAN HORN DANIEL R. ORTIZ AMY M. PEPKE Counsel of Record ELIZABETH E. CHANCE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA GADSON W. PERRY SCHOOL OF LAW BUTLER SNOW LLP SUPREME COURT 6075 Poplar Avenue, LITIGATION CLINIC Suite 500 580 Massie Road Memphis, TN 38119 Charlottesville, VA (901) 680-7200 22903 (434) 924-3127 [email protected] II ROBERT N. HOCHMAN SIDLEY AUSTIN LLP One South Dearborn St. Chicago, IL 60603 (312) 853-7000 I QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Sixth Circuit has struck down Tennessee’s statutory cap on punitive damages. It did so as a matter not of federal law, but as a matter of its own interpretation of the Tennessee Constitution. On June 19, 2019, in McClay v. Airport Mgmt. Services, LLC, No. M2019-00511-SC-R23-CV, the Tennessee Supreme Court accepted certification of the closely related question of whether Tennessee’s non-economic damages cap is consistent with the Tennessee Constitution. That ruling will likely provide clear guidance on the two state constitutional law issues in this case. The questions presented are: 1. Do principles of cooperative federalism, judicial efficiency, and concern for the consistent application of state law compel the Sixth Circuit to certify to the Tennessee Supreme Court three questions of Tennessee law that the Tennesse Supreme Court specifically indicated it was willing to consider, all of which determine liability and the scope of relief in this case, none of which had previously been addressed by the Tennessee Supreme Court, and two of which concern the Tennessee Constitution. -
Appellate Practice Handbook
KANSAS APPELLATE PRACTICE HANDBOOK 6TH EDITION KANSAS JUDICIAL COUNCIL Subscription Information The Kansas Appellate Practice Handbook is updated on a periodic basis with supplements to reflect important changes in both statutory law and case law. Your purchase of this publication automatically records your subscription for the update service. If you do not wish to receive the supplements, you must inform the Judicial Council. You may contact the Judicial Council by e-mail at [email protected], by telephone at (785) 296-2498 or by mail at: Kansas Judicial Council 301 SW 10th, Ste. 140 Topeka, KS 66612 © 2019 KANSAS JUDICIAL COUNCIL ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii PREFACE TO THE SIXTH EDITION This is the first edition of the Handbook since the advent of electronic filing of appellate cases. All prior editions, while containing some useful suggestions, are obsolete. With clear marching orders from our Supreme Court, all appellate attorneys must enroll and monitor their cases. Paper filing is now relegated to litigants that are unrepresented. Prompted by these massive changes we have consolidated some chapters and subjects and created new sections for electronic filing. But there is more to an appeal than just getting in the door. Scheduling, briefing, and pre- and post-opinion motion practice are dealt with. We sincerely hope that this work will be helpful to all who practice in this important area of the law. It is an attempt to open up the mysteries of electronic filing of appellate cases in Kansas. I must shout from the rooftops my praise for Christy Molzen with the Kansas Judicial Council, who has done all of the heavy lifting in putting this handbook together. -

We would like to acknowledge and thank the state court administrators, clerks, and other personnel for continuing to provide the information necessary to compile this volume. Likewise, the assistance of career services offices in several jurisdictions is also very much appreciated. Lastly, thank you to Elijah Gleason in our office for gathering and updating the information in this year’s Guide. Quite simply, the 2021-2022 Guide exists because of their efforts, and we are very appreciative of their work on this project. We have made every effort to verify the information that is contained herein, but judges and courts can, and do, alter application deadlines and materials. As a result, if you have any questions about the information listed, please confirm it directly with the individual court involved. It is likely that additional changes will occur in the coming months, which we will monitor and update in the Guide accordingly. We believe The 2021-2022 Guide represents a necessary tool for both career services professionals and law students considering judicial clerkships. We hope that it will prove useful and encourage other efforts to share information of use to all of us in the law school career services community. -

MICHIGAN LAW REVIEW Vol 59 JANUARY 1961 No. 3 ATTACHMENT AND GARNISHMENT IN THE FEDERAL COURTS Brainerd Currie* I. TllE PROBLEM AND ITS ORIGINS ERSONAL injuries allegedly caused by the negligent manufac P ture of safety fuses used in blasting operations in a coal mine were suffered by Raymond Davis, apparently a citizen of Arkansas. The manufacturer, Ensign-Bickford Company, was a Connecticut corporation that could not be personally served with process within Arkansas. But it happened that two foreign corporations, ame nable to process in the state, were indebted in substantial amounts to Ensign-Bickford Company. Accordingly, counsel for Davis, in voking the diversity jurisdiction, filed an action in the District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. Without issue of sum mons, the plaintiff, in conformity with Arkansas statutes, sued out orders of general attachment, for notice by publication, and for warning the defendant. -
