The Litigation Section has been busy this Fall. On October 13, 2021, the Litigation Section presented the Logan E. Bleckley Award for Judicial Excellence to former Chief Justice Harold D. Melton at the 2021 Bench and Bar Reception.

On October 21, 2021, the Litigation Section sponsored the Spirits of the Law Whisky Tasting to benefit the Atlanta Bar Foundation. On November 12, 2021, we hosted our monthly breakfast where we discussed “Credibility: How to Earn It and How to Lose It.” This breakfast was the most well attended breakfast since the pandemic, which was aided by the fabulous panelists: the Honorable Shukura
L. Ingram (Superior Court Fulton County), Brandee J. Kowalzyk (Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP), Bethany L. Schneider (Schneider Injury Law), and Jim D. Blitch (Blitch Law, PC). The panel was moderated by S. Wade Malone (Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP).

Sherman (Stanley, Esrey, & Buckley LLP) will moderate a discussion of “Offer of Judgment, Apportionment, and Proving Attorney’s Fees.” The esteemed panel consists of Hon. Gail S. Tusan (JAMS), the Honorable Paige Reese Whitaker (Superior Court Fulton County), Kevin P. Race (The Race Law Firm), and Daniel J. Huff (Huff Powell Bailey LLC).
