Bill Haltom: The Death of the Trial Lawyer

By Scott Felsenthal et al.

ADVERTISEMENTS

The March issue of the Tennessee Bar Journal features a very interesting piece by Bill Haltom of Thomason Hendrix Harvey Johnson and Mitchell in Memphis, Tennessee. The piece highlights the growing trend towards alternative dispute resolution and the effects on the vanishing trial, trial lawyer, and trial judge. I have attached a link to a .pdf version of this month's journal, and recommend you to page 31.

March Tennessee Bar Journal

What does this trend mean for those of us who grew up watching Atticus Fitch, Perry Mason and the O.J. Simpson trial with dreams of one day pacing the well of the federal courtroom? Many believe the trend will naturally correct itself because these things tend to come in waves. Others believe that now is a good time to get certified as a "Rule 31" mediator, lest you find yourself with no income.

One thing is for sure, something has got to give.

Stay Tuned...
