Engwicht v. Lako
2004 ND 219 Highlight: The district court's interpretation of an oral contract for well-drilling services is not clearly erroneous, and the judgment is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). |

Edwardson v. Lauer
2004 ND 218 Highlight: The clearly erroneous standard of review applies to a district court judgment changing a minor's name under the Uniform Parentage Act. |

Bolinske v. Herd, et al.
2004 ND 217
Highlight: The unsolicited referral of an out-of-state lawyer by an in-state lawyer does not provide sufficient contacts to make the out-of-state lawyer amenable to suit in North Dakota. The mere representation of a resident client by a nonresident lawyer does not subject the nonresident lawyer to personal jurisdiction; more is required. |

|
Greywind v. State
2004 ND 213
Highlight: Informing a defendant of the prospect of receiving a harsher sentence if he were to go to trial is not coercion sufficient to render a guilty plea involuntary. |

Sutherland v. ND Dept. of Human Services, et al.
2004 ND 212 Highlight: The Department of Human Services must follow a five-step sequential process under federal regulations for evaluating disability claims. |
|
State v. Hayek
2004 ND 211
Highlight: An ineffective assistance of counsel claim is more properly pursued in a post-conviction relief proceeding. Without a properly developed record, it is difficult to determine whether an attorney's conduct is part of a legitimate trial strategy or if the representation fell below the acceptable standard of reasonableness. |
|
Striefel v. Striefel
2004 ND 210
Highlight: The Ruff-Fischer guidelines apply to both property division and spousal support, which ordinarily must be considered together. |
