I learned today that there is only one state that does not have a procedure or statute allowing for its state Supreme Court to accept certified questions from federal courts.
Got a huge win out of the 8th Circuit today!! Issue was about adoption of the “at its peril” rule for union decertification elections. We got the NLRB overturned.

11 years ago my appellate department at Rome McGuigan was named the best in the state by the Connecticut Law Tribune. I’ve since had this amazing recognition 9 out of 11 years with 3 law firms. I’ve loved this award because, unlike individual awards, it recognized my whole team.
I had the privilege of serving as “Chief Justice” in the UConn law school moot court quarterfinals last night. It is so much fun watching students enjoying their first opportunity to really advocate for a client/position.
9th Circuit (in 2-1 decision) holds that NLRB has authority under the NLRA to award consequential damages. Creates circuit split with 3rd Circuit's decision holding NLRB lacks authority in Starbucks from ten days ago. https://t.co/8INr9cp9I2
3rd Circuit holds that the National Labor Relations Board has no authority under the NLRA to award consequential damages for unfair labor practice violations. https://t.co/G0nkwqhtEA
