Chief Justice Ken Law disposes of Mandamus in one-sentence opinion

Comment: Other appellate courts in the state explain why mandamus is denied, or at least what kind of relief was sought against a trial court judge. There appear to be differing concepts of judicial efficiency and of the need to explain - to litigants, to lawyers, and to the public at large - why appellate courts rule the way they do.
