As 2011 comes to a close, everyone else is doing their year in
review editions.
Not to be left out, we at the Appellate Record thought we'd
do a comprehensive summary of the significant cases from the
Supreme Court of Texas for the year 2011.
Well, not so much. I just got asked the other day for my
thoughts on significant cases and developments and the four areas I
thought of are listed below after the jump.
In no particular order, they include the statute of limitations,
fraud, expert testimony, and Kelo as applied or not applied to
pipelines.
Enjoy.
Well, it's been a quiet year in the Supreme Court of Texas,
my home court.
Quiet, that is, unless you consider the titanic, historic, and
folkloric events of this fall when the court was
completely caught up on its work for the first time since Sam
Houston was a boy.
