article in the metro bar journal

4/1/2022

 
Your correspondent had an article published today in the quarterly Journal of the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, of which he is a member.

The subject is a Missouri statute enacted back in 2014, drafted by a committee of the state bar, to enable a trust beneficiary to test the water before committing to a petition or motion that might trigger an in terrorem clause, forfeiting her interest in the trust. And how that statute has fared in five different cases reviewed by various state appellate courts.

We talked about one of these cases, Knopik, in Jack Straw volume three number four.

The link below is to a .pdf of the article as published. Also posted to SSRN.

addendum

I am finding that the article as printed was edited for a couple of style niceties that are inconsistent with my preferences, so I am also posting the typescript as submitted.

In particular, it is my practice to note motions for rehearing or transfer to the state supreme court, even where they were not granted, because I believe this information is actually of use to the practitioner in citing an appellate decision as authority.

Also, as regular readers of Jack Straw will have observed, I uniformly use the feminine form of the third person singular pronoun for generic references, and I am finding that the editor here prefers the plural to avoid the gendered pronoun altogether, with the result that there are plurals here where the singular would have been clearer.

    the very occasional blogger

    The text here used to say,

    "In my 'day job,'  I do not often have an opportunity to articulate some of my more contrarian views."

    With the launch of the Jack Straw Fortnightly back in January 2018 that is no longer the case. This blog remains "very occasional," however, and functions primarily as a place to post news releases.
