Michelle Williams and Nicole Williams Gross v. Centerpoint Energy Resources Corp. and the City of Shreveport, Louisiana

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana granted the writ and directed the district court to resolve the choice-of-law issue before trial. The court relied on the applicable procedural provision and precedent in requiring that timing. The opinion also records objections that resolving factual predicates before trial could interfere with the jury's fact-finding role.
