Anastasoff: Request for Papers

[John DiPippa]

     _______________________________________________________________
     For its upcoming Winter 2001 issue, The Journal of Appellate
     Practice and Process plans to publish a "mini-symposium" of essays
and articles by
     judges, attorneys and law professors on the topic of unpublished
     opinions in the appellate courts, addressing the many implications
of the recent
     Anastasoff case from the United States Court of Appeals for the
Eighth
     Circuit (holding unconstitutional the court's local rule
prohibiting the
     use of unpublished opinions as precedent). See Anastasoff v. United
States,
     No. 99-3917 EM (8th Cir. Aug. 22, 2000) [available at 2000 WL
1182813 and on
     the 8th Circuit's web site,
http://www.ca8.uscourts.gov/opinions/opinions.html].
     (Note: The opinion's author, Circuit Judge Richard S. Arnold, wrote
an
     essay concerning unpublished opinions (and previewing his Article
III
     position) in a 1999 essay in the Journal: Richard S. Arnold,
Unpublished Opinions: A
     Comment, 1 J. App. Prac. & Process 219 (1999)).
             The Journal is interested in publishing the reactions of
the
     bench,  bar,  and academy on any aspect of the Anastasoff case and
its reasoning, from
     the  practical to the procedural to the philosophical. To be
considered for
     publication, manuscripts should be submitted to the Journal by
November
     15,  2000, to the mailing address given below or via e-mail
attachment to the following address: mailto:japp at ualr.edu.
The Journal, entering its third year of existence, is a  faculty-edited
     publication devoted to the operation and influence of appellate
courts,
     whether state, federal, or foreign. Each issue of the Journal is
sent to
     every state and federal appellate judge in the United States,
together
     with almost seven hundred subscribing appellate practitioners,
professors,
     and  law libraries.
