The latest updates to the book include amendments to MCR 7.312 regarding amicus briefs and new sample briefs, new discussion on appointed appellate counsel and collateral immigration consequences in criminal appeals, and new caselaw on appeals of agency decisions and what constitutes a "final order."
SCOTUS Opinion on Foreclosure Sale Proceeds
New Legal Update
In addition to covering major Michigan Supreme Court and Court of Appeals cases, ICLE Legal Updates also include breakdowns of the facts and analysis of important U.S. Supreme Court opinions. This update dives into Pung v Isabella Cty, in which SCOTUS held that the proper baseline for measuring "just compensation" following a fairly conducted tax sale is the auction sale price.

Michigan courts have now addressed the issue of improper use of generative artificial intelligence in legal filings in a court of appeals case. This Legal Update provides the facts and an analysis of the court's decision that plaintiff's counsel's repeated submissions of AI-fabricated and unsupported authority violated the duty of reasonable inquiry and warranted sanctions.
