IN PRAISE OF TRIAL LAWYERS
Trial & Litigation Section
Continued from page 66
community. These extraordinarily
skilled attorneys present their cases
to juries and judges for plaintiffs
and defendants. They represent
a far-reaching segment of the
population, from the blue-collar
worker to the most affluent
members of our community. Their
clients are construction workers
and construction companies, the
indigent and wealthy, the CEO and
the hourly laborer. Their clients
receive their very best efforts on
a daily basis. They seek justice
for their clients and do it in an
honest, ethical way with skill and
thoughtful preparation.
Many of these lawyers have also
been actively involved in the Trial
Lawyer Section over the years and
have never balked at giving their
time, energy, and talent to teach
and mentor younger lawyers.
Lawyers like Joe Varner, Tony
Martino, Ben Hill, Joe Kinman,
Kevin McLaughlin, Chris Knopik,
Bill Hahn, Jim Clark (big and little)
and so many others (you know who
they are).
So to all of them, and to you, the
members of this
Section, who
give all of us a
“good name”…
thank you for
all you do.
