Melanie Kalmanson and Emily Plakon Author Article for 11th Circuit Historical Newsletter About Articles Published by University of Miami Law Review
Melanie Kalmanson and Emily Plakon, both members of the Quarles & Brady Litigation & Dispute Resolution Practice Group in Tampa, wrote an article for the 11th Circuit Historical Newsletter about the various articles published by The University of Miami Law Review in the annual Eleventh Circuit Issue last summer. They review all four articles in the Issue and how they relate to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
An excerpt:
The second article, An Essential Preliminary: The Grand Jury, Its Cloak of Secrecy, and the Misconceived Inherent Authority to Release Grand Jury Materials, is written by Jose M. Espinosa, law clerk to Judge Jose E. Martinez of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.8 Espinosa was also Editor-in-Chief of Volume 75 of the University of Miami Law Review. This article discusses the Eleventh Circuit’s 2020 move away from precedent that “allowed district courts in [their] discretion to disclose grand jury records . . . .”
Finally, in Florida’s Market-Based Property Reforms and Revocation of One-Way Attorney Fees: Implications for Florida Policyholders, Jae Lynn Huckaba from Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP discusses Florida’s unstable insurance market, the perceived and actual causes of the instability, and Florida’s reform attempts that are heavily insurer-friendly.
