FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C	THE INSTITUTE'S 2022 APPELLATE ADVOCACY AWARD WAS PRESENTED TO DEEPAK GUPTA, DENNIS CONNER, AND KYLE FARRAR FOR THEIR WORK ON THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL FOR A CRUCIAL SUPREME COURT VICTORY. FOR THREE DECADES, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS ISSUED A SERIES OF DECISIONS ON PERSONAL JURISDICTION THAT HAVE MADE IT INCREASINGLY HARDER FOR PLAINTIFFS TO HOLD WRONGDOERS ACCOUNTABLE IN COURT. FORD MOTOR CO. V. MONTANA EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, 141 S.CT. 1017 (U.S. 2021) REPRESENTS A STUNNING BREAK IN THE COURT'S LONG-RUNNING TREND. THE DECISION AROSE FROM TWO PRODUCTS LIABILITY ACTIONS INVOLVING FORD AUTOMOBILES. THE DRIVER OF ONE CAR DIED IN AN INCIDENT IN MONTANA, AND A PASSENGER IN THE OTHER CAR WAS SEVERELY INJURED IN A COLLISION IN MINNESOTA. THE INJURIES OCCURRED IN THE FORUM STATES, THE VICTIMS WERE RESIDENTS OF THE FORUM STATES, AND FORD DID SUBSTANTIAL BUSINESS IN BOTH STATES, YET IN BOTH CASES FORD MOVED TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, ARGUING THAT THE COMPANY HAD DONE NOTHING IN THE FORUM STATES TO CAUSE THE PLAINTIFFS' CLAIMS. DENNIS CONNER REPRESENTED THE PLAINTIFFS WHO PREVAILED IN THE MONTANA LOWER COURTS AND SUPREME COURT; KYLE FARRAR SUCCESSFULLY REPRESENTED PLAINTIFFS IN THE MINNESOTA TRIAL COURT, COURT OF APPEALS, AND SUPREME COURT. FORD APPEALED BOTH STATE COURT DECISIONS TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, WHERE THE CASES WERE CONSOLIDATED. DEEPAK GUPTA BRIEFED AND ARGUED THE CONSOLIDATED CASE IN THE SUPREME COURT, FOCUSING ON COMMON SENSE AND THE LACK OF ANY UNFAIRNESS TO FORD. BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, ORAL ARGUMENT WAS HELD BY TELEPHONE, WITHOUT COUNSEL BEING ABLE TO SEE THE JUSTICES. GUPTA ALSO ORGANIZED A POWERFUL AMICUS CURIAE CAMPAIGN, RECRUITING THE MAIN STREET ALLIANCE (A NATIONAL NETWORK OF SMALL BUSINESS COALITIONS), THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HOME BUILDERS, AND THE ATTORNEYS GENERAL OF 40 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (INCLUDING SOME NOT USUALLY ALLIED WITH CONSUMER INTERESTS). THE RESULT WAS A UNANIMOUS (8-0) DECISION AUTHORED BY JUSTICE ELENA KAGAN THAT CONCLUDED THAT, "WHEN A COMPANY LIKE FORD SERVES A MARKET FOR A PRODUCT IN A STATE AND THAT PRODUCT CAUSES INJURY IN THE STATE TO ONE OF ITS RESIDENTS, THE STATE'S COURTS MAY ENTERTAIN THE RESULTING SUIT." 141 S.CT. AT 1022. THE INSTITUTE RECOGNIZES WITH HIGH DISTINCTION VICTORY IN A PRECEDENT- SETTING EMPLOYEE-RIGHTS CLASS ACTION BY KIMBERLY KRALOWEC. APPLE, INC., ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES IN THE WORLD, LONG DECLINED TO PAY ITS RETAIL STORE EMPLOYEES FOR THE TIME THEY SPENT WAITING FOR, AND UNDERGOING, MANDATORY SECURITY CHECKS OF THEIR PERSONAL POSSESSIONS WHEN THEY LEFT WORK. THE COMPANY CONTENDED THAT THE EMPLOYEES WERE NOT PERFORMING WORK DURING THAT TIME, AND COULD HAVE AVOIDED THE SECURITY CHECKS BY LEAVING THEIR PERSONAL POSSESSIONS AT HOME. MS. KRALOWEC REPRESENTED APPLE EMPLOYEES IN A WAGE-AND-HOUR CLASS ACTION IN FEDERAL COURT, CHALLENGING THE COMPANY'S POLICY. THE DISTRICT COURT GRANTED SUMMARY JUDGMENT TO APPLE. ON APPEAL, THE NINTH CIRCUIT CERTIFIED QUESTIONS TO THE STATE SUPREME COURT. IN FRLEKIN V APPLE INC., 457 P.3D 526 (CAL. 2020), MS. KRALOWEC SECURED A PRECEDENT-SETTING RULING ON THE SCOPE OF CALIFORNIA'S DEFINITION OF COMPENSABLE "HOURS WORKED." THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT HELD THAT (1) THE TIME EMPLOYEES SPENT ON THE EMPLOYER'S PREMISES WAITING FOR, AND UNDERGOING, MANDATORY EXIT SEARCHES WAS EMPLOYER-CONTROLLED ACTIVITY, AND THEREFORE IT WAS COMPENSABLE AS "HOURS WORKED" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE "CONTROL" CLAUSE OF THE STATE WAGE ORDER; AND (2) THE DECISION COULD NOT BE LIMITED TO PROSPECTIVE APPLICATION. ON REMAND, THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT REVERSED ITS EARLIER DECISION FOR APPLE AND ENTERED SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON LIABILITY FOR THE EMPLOYEES. THE INSTITUTE HELD ITS CIVIL JUSTICE SCHOLARSHIP AWARD -- DESIGNED TO RECOGNIZE OUTSTANDING LEGAL SCHOLARSHIP ON CIVIL JUSTICE ISSUES, AND TO ENCOURAGE SUCH SCHOLARSHIP IN THE FUTURE. THE 2022 AWARD RECIPIENTS WERE PROF. BRIAN FITZPATRICK OF VANDERBILT LAW SCHOOL AND PROF. RICHARD FRANKEL OF DREXEL UNIVERSITY'S THOMAS R. KLINE SCHOOL OF LAW. PROFESSOR FITZPATRICK WAS RECOGNIZED FOR HIS BOOK, THE CONSERVATIVE CASE FOR CLASS ACTIONS (U. CHICAGO PRESS, 2020). IN THE BOOK, HE DEFENDS CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST THEIR MOST POWERFUL CRITICS: POLITICAL CONSERVATIVES, CORPORATIONS, AND RELATED INSTITUTIONS. FITZPATRICK CONVINCINGLY ARGUES THAT CLASS ACTIONS ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF ENFORCING LAWS THAT ENSURE A WELL-FUNCTIONING MARKET, INCLUDING LAWS AGAINST CORPORATE MISCONDUCT. HE ALSO ANALYZES MANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH CLASS ACTIONS AND POTENTIAL WAYS TO IMPROVE THEM. PROFESSOR FRANKEL WAS RECOGNIZED FOR HIS ARTICLE, CORPORATE HOSTILITY TO ARBITRATION (50 SETON HALL L. REV. 707 (2020)), IN WHICH HE EXPOSES INCONSISTENCIES IN THE BEHAVIOR OF CORPORATIONS WITH RESPECT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION. HE SHOWS THAT THEY CAN, AND DO, USE THEIR DRAFTING POWER TO EXCLUDE PARTICULAR CLAIMS FROM ARBITRATION IN ORDER TO SERVE THEIR SELF- INTEREST, WHILE THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT PROHIBITS STATES FROM REGULATING ARBITRATION FOR THOSE SAME REASONS. THE INSTITUTE ALSO RECOGNIZED LAW REVIEW ARTICLES FOR HIGH DISTINCTION AMONG THE 49 NOMINATIONS RECEIVED. PROFESSOR BROOKE COLEMAN OF SEATTLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW IS RECOGNIZED FOR HER ARTICLE SOWHITEMALE: FEDERAL CIVIL RULEMAKING (113 NW. U. L. REV. 407 (2018)) IN WHICH SHE ADDRESSES GENDER AND RACIAL INEQUALITY IN THE RULEMAKING PROCESS, ASKING MEMBERS OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION TO RECOGNIZE, ACCOUNT FOR, AND ADDRESS INSTITUTIONAL SEXISM AND RACISM. PROFESSOR DAVID NOLL OF RUTGERS LAW SCHOOL IS RECOGNIZED FOR HIS ARTICLE ARBITRATION CONFLICTS (103 MINN. L. REV. 665 (2018)), IN WHICH HE EXPLORES THE QUESTION OF HOW THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (FAA) RELATES TO OTHER FEDERAL LAWS, WHICH PROVIDE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CHECKS ON THE USE OF ARBITRATION TO BLOCK AGGREGATE LITIGATION AND HIDE EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING FROM PUBLIC SCRUTINY.

	THE INSTITUTE'S 2022 APPELLATE ADVOCACY AWARD WAS PRESENTED TO DEEPAK GUPTA, DENNIS CONNER, AND KYLE FARRAR FOR THEIR WORK ON THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL FOR A CRUCIAL SUPREME COURT VICTORY. FOR THREE DECADES, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS ISSUED A SERIES OF DECISIONS ON PERSONAL JURISDICTION THAT HAVE MADE IT INCREASINGLY HARDER FOR PLAINTIFFS TO HOLD WRONGDOERS ACCOUNTABLE IN COURT. FORD MOTOR CO. V. MONTANA EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, 141 S.CT. 1017 (U.S. 2021) REPRESENTS A STUNNING BREAK IN THE COURT'S LONG-RUNNING TREND. THE DECISION AROSE FROM TWO PRODUCTS LIABILITY ACTIONS INVOLVING FORD AUTOMOBILES. THE DRIVER OF ONE CAR DIED IN AN INCIDENT IN MONTANA, AND A PASSENGER IN THE OTHER CAR WAS SEVERELY INJURED IN A COLLISION IN MINNESOTA. THE INJURIES OCCURRED IN THE FORUM STATES, THE VICTIMS WERE RESIDENTS OF THE FORUM STATES, AND FORD DID SUBSTANTIAL BUSINESS IN BOTH STATES, YET IN BOTH CASES FORD MOVED TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, ARGUING THAT THE COMPANY HAD DONE NOTHING IN THE FORUM STATES TO CAUSE THE PLAINTIFFS' CLAIMS.
