EXPERIENCE COUNTS:  In a landmark 1994 Kansas Supreme Court case, Mr. Laurans won an appeal that shielded his client from multimillion-dollar liability and clarified the "Inherently Dangerous Activity" doctrine which governs landowners' obligations to persons on their property. In 1996, Mr. Laurans again argued to the Kansas Supreme Court, this time representing the victims in the first-ever "Protection from Abuse Act" case heard by the Justices. In the Missouri Court of Appeals, Mr. Laurans successfully argued for the reversal of a murder conviction for a father of five who accidentally shot a man while protecting his family.  Recently, Mr Laurans returned to theKansas Supreme Court to argue the first ever case arising under the "Protection from Stalking Act".  In May 2005, Mr. Laurans successfully argued to re-open a 1991 Missouri murder case, after which he then persuaded the trial judge to set aside his client's convictions and life sentences.

In local US district courts, Mr. Laurans won the release from prison of the former Kansas Lieutenant Governor, and he won the release of a Missouri man jailed in Minnesota who is the first federal inmate ever freed for the purpose of obtaining a heart transplant.
