Abstract

Although many recent decisions have altered Missouri Civil Practice and Procedure in various ways, the courts and the Missouri Bar Advisory Committee have made significant changes in several important areas. By interpreting statutes and promulgating ethical opinions, these institutions have crystallized Missouri law concerning attorneys' fees and liens-an area of interest to all attorneys. This article also surveys the recent evolution in Missouri law concerning jurisdiction, access to the courts, collateral estoppel, the effect of releases, and procedural devices such as impleader and joinder.
