Master I need more information to identify the correct case. with this comprehensive case brief.
I want to ensure I brief the correct case, but I'm unable to confidently identify a reported decision titled "Sterner v. Nelson" from standard U.S. case law reporters. There is a well-known Texas Supreme Court decision, Sterner v. Marathon Oil Co., 767 S.W.2d 686 (Tex. 1989), on tortious interference with an at-will employment contract, which students sometimes reference. However, I cannot locate a definitive match for "Sterner v. Nelson" without additional details. It's possible the case is from a specific state's intermediate court, is unpublished, is styled differently (e.g., Nelson v. Sterner), or is part of a specialized reporter (family, probate, small claims, or administrative).
