: Day on TortsTennessee Court of Appeals Uses Photographs in Opinion
By John Day
Judge Susano and his colleagues on the Eastern Section of the Tennessee Court of Appeals issued an opinion yesterday in Usher v. Charles Blalock & Sons, Inc. The opinion addresses some important issues of Tennessee law, but is mentioned here because it utlizies photographs scanned into the body of the opinion to help the reader understand how the wreck occurred.
From time to time, I have seen drawings (and maybe even a photograph) appended to court opinions but I do not recall seeing a photograph inserted into the text of a Tennessee appellate opinion. The photographs help tell the story in this case, and Judge Susano and his colleagues are to be congradulated from using them.
Usher has been assigned Case No. E2009-00658-COA-R3-CV. The opinion was released on June 30, 2010.
