Superseded by statute
A reviewed court treats this case as superseded by later legislation. Missouri Housing Development Commission v. Brice's weight-of-the-contacts venue rule was superseded by Congress's 1990 amendment to 28 U.S.C. § 1391. All 28 flagged citations have been read.
More on how this was screened

The Eighth Circuit's decision applying the amended statute is listed below. The amendment concerns Brice's venue analysis; its separate guaranty and pleading rulings were not addressed.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

28 later cases cite Missouri Housing Development Commission v. Edward W. Brice, Jr., Paul Goodrich, Joseph Timilty; 28 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

Treatments

Superseded by statute

  • Applying amended § 1391, the Eighth Circuit held that venue no longer turns on which district has the weight of the contacts, as Brice had required; the chosen district need only have a substantial connection to the claim.

    Under the amended statute, we no longer ask which district among two or more potential forums is the “best” venue, as Brice did.
