Appellate law; preserving error
Article Abstract:
The question of whether arguments raised in a denied summary judgment motion are automatically preserved for review after trial is addressed. Case law suggests that this issue arises most often when the denied summary judgment motion is the sole basis for seeking review on appeal, because counsel has neglected to re-raise his client's summary judgment arguments.
