Atlanta Injury Lawyer Blog

On May 10-11 I'll be at the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association (GTLA) Annual Seminar and Convention held at the Loews Hotel in Midtown Atlanta. This is ground zero for the best trial lawyers in the State of Georgia. I am speaking on the power of cognitive neuroscience use at trial. I will also be introducing our Thursday luncheon speaker, Professor Curtis Wilkie, author of Fall of the House of Zeus, about the rise and fall of Dickie Scruggs who was once, arguably, the most powerful trial lawyer in the world but who is now serving time in prison. I will also be introducing our Friday luncheon speaker, Dr. Paul Voss, Founder of Ethikos, Inc. who will speaking about the ethics of decision making.

I always enjoy the fellowship of my fellow Georgia Trial Lawyers and find simply being with them inspires me to continue to fight the good fight, finish the race and keep the Faith.

GTLA Welcomes New President, Chris Clark of Macon, Georgia

GTLA wishes to thank out-going President Fred Orr for his wisdom and vision over the past year. With him at the helm, many things have been accomplished (including this new website). With Fred as the Immediate Past President, GTLA eagerly welcomes Chris Clark to his new role. Chris' intelligence, leadership style and passion for the Civil Justice System will only serve to make this great organization stronger.

At the President's Gala on Friday night, 250 members of GTLA watched as Fred Orr handed the reins over to Chris Clark-- both of whom received a standing ovation. Congressman Bruce Braley of Iowa, a trial lawyer, a champion for justice in Washington DC and a Past President of his state's TLA entertained and enlightened the crowd with his tales of courage in politics as the keynote speaker. The evening ended with incredible comaraderie found only at GTLA events.
