Last fall, I wrote an article published in Missouri Lawyers Weekly called "Judicial Word Games and Hypertechnicalities." I suggested in the article that it was time for the Missouri Supreme Court to reconsider the rule on what are called Points Relied On. Since my article was published, other lawyers and judges also have come forward and offered some criticism of the rule. This new article summarizes a compelling dissenting opinion on the subject issued by Judge Alok Ahuja of the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western District.

Please see full publication below for more information.
