PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V ELMORE TIMS JR; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V ROGER D. KNEIP, 449 MICH 83 (1995): Appellee Appendix on Behalf of Elmore Tims, Jr.

This volume is an Appellee Appendix submitted in the consolidated Michigan Supreme Court case People v. Tims and People v. Kneip (1995). The litigation focused on the legal standard for causation in involuntary manslaughter cases, specifically addressing whether a defendant's actions must be the proximate cause of death or if a lower standard of direct causation applies. The appendix served as a formal record of evidence and lower court documents presented by the defense to support their arguments before the state's highest court.

The publication was produced in the context of appellate practice, where parties provide condensed versions of trial records to assist justices in their deliberations. As part of a legal filing, the document reflects the formal, standardized aesthetic of Michigan Supreme Court briefs from the mid-1990s. While not a trade publication, it functions as a primary record of a significant judicial precedent that ultimately helped clarify the parameters of criminal liability for unintended deaths resulting from vehicular conduct.
