Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard is proud to announce that law clerk Jaclyn Kurth was published in the John Marshall Law School’s Law Review.

After weighing the varying outcomes of appellate jurisprudence, the article ultimately suggests a balancing test to be utilized in cases that involve the feasibility exception.
