- W2474171023 abstract "INTRODUCTION In the mid-1970s, the federal courts of appeals began to issue opinions designated that were not typically published, citable, or accorded any precedential value. Many states followed suit. A great debate ensued questioning the practice, which has consumed considerable academic attention and appellate rulemaking time. (1) States continue to vary in their treatment of unpublished opinions and even in the wake of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 32.1, intended to provide uniformity, the federal circuits remain inconsistent. (2) Scholars, judges, and practitioners have found previous surveys of practice regarding these opinions useful. (3) The authors of those early studies noted a trend toward increased citability, even between 2001 and 2004. This increase in citability continues, and increasingly, states are according all decisions precedential value or no longer issuing opinions designated as either or non-precedential. More than half the states now either permit citation of, or do not issue, unpublished opinions. Since the last major survey in 2004, seven additional states--Alaska, Hawaii, Kansas, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin--have begun to permit citation of unpublished opinions, and one--Louisiana--has accorded precedential value to unpublished opinions. Five additional states--Arkansas, Ohio, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming--have stopped issuing unpublished appellate opinions. Earlier surveys, much like earlier debate on the issue, tended to look only at publication and citation practices. (4) This survey seeks not only to update the information on these issues, but also to provide information about various jurisdictions' rules on the precedential value accorded to decisions. The charts that follow, like those in prior surveys, attempt to convey the essence of each jurisdiction's rules. The goal is to provide a quick reference to the rules from each jurisdiction and a source for comparison of jurisdictions. The survey describes the rules from each jurisdiction as written, but readers should remember that the extent to which courts fastidiously follow them may vary. (5) And, of course, this area of law continues to develop, largely in the direction of greater official publication and citation. (6) David R. Cleveland, Professor of Law, Valparaiso University. Professor Cleveland is grateful to Alyssa Spartz for her excellent research assistance. Additionally, Professor Cleveland would like to thank Michael Schmier, whose inquiry into the current state of publication rules nationwide led to the realization that there was no recent survey of state practices.
