Elizabeth Butala v. the Curators of the University of Missouri

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri held that the circuit court's orders dismissing the University of Missouri Curators were final judgments eligible for certification as interlocutory appeals under Rule 74.01(b) and that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in making that certification; the Court also concluded it lacks exclusive appellate jurisdiction over the plaintiffs' constitutional claims because they were not properly preserved.
