Alaska Supreme Court: Winfree’s Debut

Jump to Comments

The Alaska Supreme Court issued 6 opinions this Friday morning (none of them employment-related).  Each of the five Justices, including Justice Daniel Winfree, wrote one; Justice Matthews wrote 2.  All of the opinions were unanimous.  Winfree handled the opinion in Skinner v. Hagberg, a child custody matter.  His first published opinion was Tessa M. v. State, DHSS, issued last Friday.  Like most (all?) of the other Alaska Justices, Winfree adheres to the Bryan Garner rule of placing all citations in the footnotes, but apparently rejects Garner’s admonition to avoid “talking” footnotes.
