Case Type: Appeal - Criminal - Misc. Felony
Author: Tufte, Jerod E.
Highlight: A trial court violates a criminal defendant’s speedy trial right only when four factors, in sum, weigh against the state: the length of the delay, reasons for the delay, proper assertion of the right, and actual prejudice to the accused.
Rule 403 gives a trial court discretion to exclude probative evidence, and this Court will reverse a district court’s decision to admit or exclude evidence only for abuse of discretion.
When a party fails to move for a curative instruction, this Court reviews only for obvious error, if and only in rare circumstances when the defendant has suffered a serious injustice.

Docket No.: 20220115
Filing Date: 11/10/2022
Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Contracts
Author: Jensen, Jon J.
Highlight: Words are given their ordinary and popular meaning unless the words are used in a technical sense or given a special meaning.
The word “may” will only be construed as “must” where the content of the subject matter compels that construction.
Specific performance requires parties to perform their contractual promises, and therefore, is inconsistent with termination of the contract.
Specific performance is not an absolute right and equitable principles will be followed to determine if it is appropriate.
