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.

The American Bar Association's Special Committee on Administrative Law has been active in studying the problems of administrative law and procedure and, in the federal field, has supported legislation in Congress.2 As a result of the efforts of the American Bar As- sociation, of the Attorney General's Committee on Administrative Procedure, and other interested organizations and individuals, Congress, in June, 1946, adopted a Federal Administrative Procedure Act 3 sponsored by the Ameri- 4 can Bar Association.

  • SCALES Project Appeal Process in a Nutshell
    SCALES Project Appeal Process in a nutshell . almost presented on February 12, 2004 by Frank G. Clement, Jr., Judge Court of Appeals of Tennessee If a person, company, organization or governmental entity is a plaintiff or defendant in a lawsuit, (all of whom we generally identify as a “party”) and is dissatisfied with the result of a decision by a court (Juvenile Court, Probate Court, Circuit Court, Chancery Court, Criminal Court), that party may “appeal” the decision to the appropriate appellate court. There are three Tennessee appellate courts (state appellate courts), the Court of Criminal Appeals of Tennessee, the Court of Appeals of Tennessee and the Supreme Court of Tennessee. But for a few exceptions (workers’ compensation appeals being one of them), appeals go directly to either the Court of Criminal Appeals or the Court of Appeals, not to the Supreme Court. The appellate courts do not “try” the case anew (the witnesses do not testify again and there is no jury). The role of the appellate court is to review what occurred in the previous court, with the review limited to and based upon the “official record” from the previous court. The official record from the previous court typically includes the legal papers (civil warrant, complaint, indictment, motions, orders of the previous court, etc.), and usually a transcript of the evidence. The transcript of the evidence is prepared by a stenographer (an independent person who attended the hearing(s) and “recorded” what was said verbatim). If there is no stenographic (verbatim) transcript, the parties and the judge may prepare a summary “statement of the evidence” which is a paraphrased recollection of the testimony (which is not favored due to the differing impressions of what was or was not said).
