The Missouri Supreme Court made its preliminary writ of mandamus permanent, directing Judge Asel to sign and file a judgment disposing of Henderson's claims. The Court clarified that a judgment must be a written, signed order denominated \"judgment\" that fully resolves at least one claim, and mandamus is an appropriate remedy to compel this ministerial duty.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","summary-judgment"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=136814","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-jennifer-henderson-relator-v-the-honorable-jodie-asel-respon-c96865","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
