There is no monthly bar luncheon in April. Enjoy your Easter! 

Please go ahead and circle May 12 on your calendar and make plans to attend our annual Law Day meeting. We will present the annual Liberty Bell Award to recognize the important work of one of our citizens and honor several local student winners of the Law Day essay contest. We also have the honor of hearing from our fellow bar member, former U.S. Congressman Bradley Byrne, who will be our Law Day speaker. Bradley heads the Mobile Chamber of Commerce, whose mission is to grow our economy—which grows our practice. He promises to have some interesting news for us lawyers.

Two weeks ago I had the opportunity and privilege to speak to members of our criminal defense bar at a seminar hosted by the Mobile Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. I wish to thank Brian Lockwood (MCDLA) and Derrick Williams (Chairman of our Criminal Practice Section) for the invitation. It is no secret that Mobile’s criminal dockets are among the nation’s busiest, and I am proud to say we also have one of the nation’s most outstanding criminal defense bars. The MBA wants to do a better job of connecting with the criminal bar, as well as with corporate in-house counsel and government counsel. 

Let me congratulate members of the new In-House Counsel Section, led by Chairman Julia Shreve, on their first-ever meeting last week. It is gratifying to see the modern regeneration of Mobile’s corporate community, to the point where we again have a large and growing number of in-house counsel in our bar. They are a vital part of our local economy. Julia is Assistant General Counsel for the University of South Alabama. Please thank her when you see her.

I was happy to see that Sharla Knox recently was appointed our new Mobile County Circuit Clerk, replacing the long-serving Jo Jo Schwarzauer. Knox and Schwarzauer, along with Chuck Diard, Chief Clerk of our U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, undoubtedly run the most helpful and lawyer-friendly clerk’s offices in the land. And what a difference it makes! It would be easy to take this for granted, unless you have cases in other courts. We are extremely fortunate.

American law arrives in Mobile

One of the great satisfactions of practicing law in Mobile is its remarkable legal history. So here is another date to circle in your mind this month—April 15—but not because it’s tax day.

It was on that date in 1813 when American law arrived in Mobile. Some in Washington had thought the Louisiana Purchase (1803) included Mobile. But nobody told the Spaniards! So 10 years later, a large American force sent by President Madison landed below the city at Choctaw Point and captured Fort Carlota and Mobile without a shot. The Spanish commander, weighing the odds, surrendered his sword and accepted a written receipt for the value of the cannon and other items left behind. (Yes, he got in a lot of trouble for not putting up a fight.) The American flag was raised over Mobile on Monday, April 15, 1813.

For attorneys, the Americans changed everything. Among other things, they created a generation’s worth of legal work for newly arriving lawyers who came from all over. American courts sprang up to deal with legal issues typical of commerce and growth. Mobile’s population, which was down to about 300 in 1813, grew in seven years to 2,800, and by 1840 totaled 13,000. Mobile quickly became one of the nation’s busiest ports. A seemingly endless number of Spanish title disputes took 40 years to resolve, some reaching the U.S. Supreme Court.

It is that period to which we can trace our modern bar association. April 15 is the anniversary of Mobile’s own American Independence.

Some of you—for example, David Bagwell and Charlie Potts—know a lot about Mobile’s Independence Day. The legendary Mobile lawyer and historian Peter Hamilton wrote a marvelous history about it. For the most part, however, few dates in Mobile’s history are less remembered. Today, it is hard to find anybody who thinks April 15 is a big deal. Yes, we shoot fireworks on the Fourth of July, and rightly so. But the reality is that Mobile remained loyal to British West Florida and only became a U.S. territory when captured on April 15, 1813.

For a city that never misses a chance to celebrate, how has April 15 been so overlooked? I guess the pain of tax day spoils the mood. But as we look toward our Law Day festivities next month, let me at least highlight April 15 as a red-letter day for Mobile lawyers—the day American law arrived in our city.



Our annual Law Day luncheon is truly a special thing, an event I have learned is rare among other bar associations in our nation. Take advantage of it, and please come be a part of it! Mark your calendar for May 12.

Mobile Bar Association, 2023 President

April is National Volunteer Month. It became National Volunteer Month as part of President George H. W. Bush’s 1000 Points of Light campaign in 1991. During his presidency, President Bush handed out Point of Light Awards six days a week to citizens working to better their communities through volunteer work. In his life and work, President Bush exemplified the importance of giving back to the community and demonstrated how, through serving others, you enrich your own soul. I was raised with similar values and strive to give back on a regular basis.

You never know when your actions of giving back are going to inspire others or impact the Mobile Bar Association. It makes me think of a quote from Michael Jordan, who said: “Earn your leadership every day.”

Speaking of leadership and volunteerism, this past month, your President-Elect, Raymond Bell, and I had the pleasure of attending the ABA Bar Leadership Institute. The goal of the conference is to guide bar staff and volunteer leaders in their roles as stewards of their respective associations, focusing on bar governance, communications, and leadership. We took a deep dive into such topics as mastering your organization’s message, measuring impact, member engagement, and strategic planning. Other huge benefits of the conference were meeting bar leaders from across the U.S. and fostering ongoing relationships with bar leaders within the state of Alabama. It truly was a great learning experience and gave us a global perspective to help us serve MBA members and meet your changing needs in the coming years. 

The Mobile Bar Association is YOUR association. Thank you for getting involved and volunteering. If you’re not involved, please consider participating. We have lots of opportunities. You can give a little or a LOT. Regardless, the most important thing is to connect…learn…and serve. It does the body and soul good!

We are always interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas about how to improve the Mobile Bar Association and our activities. Please feel free to contact me any time by phone at 251.433.9790 or by email at asirmon@mobilebarassociation.com. We are listening.

By Cat Kirkland, Law Day Chair

Law Day is quickly approaching! The Mobile Bar Association takes part in this annual national event by providing outreach and education on the role of law in our society. This year’s theme, Cornerstones of Democracy: Civics, Civility, Collaboration, offers the opportunity to examine the foundation of our democratic system and to consider how we can better engage in productive, civil conversations with others, even while deeply disagreeing. Our Committee is busily planning several May events. Here are a couple of ways we could use your help: 

• Nominate someone for the Liberty Bell Award – This award recognizes a non-lawyer member of the community who has helped strengthen the effectiveness of the American system of freedom under the law. Dr. Kathleen Orange from Spring Hill College was our 2022 recipient and City of Mobile Public Safety Director Lawrence Battiste received the award in 2021. Nominations are due by April 14.

• Encourage your children to participate in the Law Day Art or Essay Contests or forward details to a teacher you know to encourage submissions – For our young students (K-5), our Law Day art contest focuses on civics, in particular on the civic duty to vote. We are asking our young students to discuss voting with their parents or teachers and then draw a picture demonstrating anything about voting. For our middle school and high school students, we are asking students to address the concept of civil discourse – specifically, how can we listen to others and understand opposing views without abandoning our own principles, and do so in a civil manner? Contest submissions are due by April 14.

• Register for the MBA’s May 12 Law Day Luncheon – Please register to attend this special event. We will honor our contest winners, discuss Law Day, and host a special speaker.

More information, the Liberty Bell nomination form, and details on the Art/Essay competition can be found on the MBA’s website at: https://mobilebarassociation.com/news/516301/2023-Law-Day.htm. Please email me at ckirkland@burr.com with any questions. Thank you for your support!

MENTORING MOMENT

By Greg Vaughan, Mentoring Committee Member

A Burger King® drive thru?

I thought the slogan at Burger King was “have it your way.” But my 9-year-old daughter (Ansley), after reading this paragraph, corrected me: It’s actually “BK, have it your way.” Regardless, when clients treat our profession like a drive thru and “want it their way,” no matter how that happens or what it looks like, the outcome is never positive. Please bear with me as I explain this one.

If you’ve been in this profession any length of time you’ve encountered the “Rambo” client. That’s the client who has been “wronged” and they hear you’re “tough.” Rambo challenges you to push the boundaries of professionalism because they want “justice” and, unfortunately, their version of “justice” is to inflict pain on the opposing party (and maybe the opposing party’s counsel). They want to win at all costs, they stretch the truth, they want you to delay for the sake of delay, and they equate reasonableness with weakness.   

You may have heard of the popular concept of “boundaries” in relationships. Let’s create some “lawyer boundaries.” If you don’t have any—or don’t know how to articulate them—here are a few worthy of consideration:

Honesty

Don’t allow your client to convince you to advocate a lie, pursue a defense that is without merit, or hide information during the discovery process. Clients do not understand or appreciate the rules of professional conduct—but you should. Your reputation is worth more than a case or a client. Set the tone early (i.e., initial client meeting) that you will advocate to the best of your ability, but you will do so honestly. If your client persists, then maybe it's time for them to represent themselves, or find other counsel.

Professionalism

If you litigate, you’ve had the potential client exclaim during an initial consultation, “I want to cause that

*!?^%# so much pain because, "blah blah blah," and “their lawyer must be a piece of junk.” What a wonderful chance for you to explain that the purpose of the civil legal system is not to inflict pain, that you will advocate for your client but will do so professionally, and that opposing counsel is not the adversary and you intend to treat them with respect. 

Reasonableness

If you represent plaintiffs (or perhaps a party in a domestic action), have you considered asking the potential client at the initial consultation what result they hope to obtain? If they have a soft-tissue injury that’s not permanent and they’re looking for an unreasonable sum, perhaps it’s time to have a conversation about reasonableness. Or, you may have encountered the client who endeavors to solve all of their financial problems (even the unrelated ones) with the matter you are handling. While it is their case, if your definition of reasonableness lives on a different planet than theirs, you could be in for a very long and painful experience (that may ultimately cost you money). Why not share your thoughts and determine early if it’s worth continuing the relationship?

Our rules of professional conduct require us to champion our client’s cause with a certain “zeal in advocacy.” See Comments to Rule 1.3.  But that doesn’t mean the client is the only one holding the steering wheel—we are afforded “professional discretion” in how a matter should be pursued. Id.

Communicating to your client what “professional discretion” means to you and your practice—and where your “lawyer boundaries” lie—is an opportunity you should not waste. 

***

I’ve spent a lot of time around more senior lawyers and judges through my involvement in the bar’s mentoring program. This collection of articles is some of what I have learned there – and some of what I’ve learned along the way.

If you have any questions, comments, would like to suggest some future topics, pass along some good vibes, or just meet for coffee to discuss your career, please send me an e-mail at: greg@vaughanpoe.com.

In Ex parte TruckMax, Inc., No. SC-2022-0957 (Ala. February 17, 2023), the Supreme Court denied a writ of mandamus to a party attempting to amend its pleading after expiration of the deadline to amend without leave pursuant to Ala. R. Civ. P. 15(a). While the Court acknowledged that the proposed amendment would likely resolve claims brought by one plaintiff against the petitioner under the Alabama Extended Manufacturer’s Liability Doctrine, the Court ultimately denied the petition for not meeting the steep burden for mandamus relief as the claims of a separate plaintiff would not be resolved by the amendment and would still need to be tried.

In Farrag v. Thomas, Nos. 1200541, 1200542 (Ala. February 17, 2023), the Supreme Court held that a party had waived his objection to lack of personal jurisdiction to a default judgment by failing to include the same in a post-judgment motion. Although the defendant timely filed a post-judgment motion pursuant to Ala. R. Civ. P. 60(b) seeking relief from a default judgment entered based on “excusable neglect,” the Court held there was insufficient evidence to support excusable neglect and further held that the defendant had waived his argument of lack of personal jurisdiction due to improper service (later asserted on appeal) by failing to include these arguments in his post-judgment motion for relief.

In Escapes! To the Shores Condominium Association, Inc. v. Hoar Construction, LLC, No. 1210378 (Ala. February 17, 2023), the Supreme Court held that a judgment entered on an arbitration award involving some, but not all, parties to the dispute was immediately appealable as a final judgment. While the Court recognized that a judgment affecting less than all of the parties involved would usually require certification as final under Ala. R. Civ. P. 54(b) to be appealable, it ultimately held that the plain language of Ala. R. Civ. P. 71B(f), providing that “[t]he clerk of the circuit court promptly shall enter the award as the final judgment of the court,” unambiguously granted final judgment status to judgments entered on arbitration awards. 

In Mobile Infirmary Association v. Quest Diagnostics Clinical Laboratories, Inc., No. SC-2022-0641 (Ala. February 24, 2023), the Supreme Court held that an indemnity provision was not sufficiently specific to require indemnification for a party’s negligence. First noting that Alabama law has, for many years, recognized the right of parties to contract for the indemnification of one party’s negligence, the Court nevertheless held that the agreement in question did not clearly and unequivocally express such intent.

From Mobile County District Court: Judge George Zoghby, Sharla Knox (Circuit Court Clerk), Chris McDonough (Assistant D.A.), and Michelle Patronas (District Criminal Supervisor).

By the time you read this, SAVLP’s long-time Intake Coordinator, Jodi White, will have retired. We held a reception in her honor to congratulate her on reaching this milestone. If you missed the opportunity to wish her well, please feel free to drop off a card at the SAVLP office. We will make sure she receives it.

ALABAMA BAR ASSOCIATION

It’s time to register your law firm or legal organization for the 2023 Alabama Legal Food Frenzy! If you’re unfamiliar, the Food Frenzy is the Alabama State Bar’s annual fundraiser supporting food banks across the state. This year’s event kicks off April 17 and runs through April 28. 

One in four Alabama children struggles with food insecurity, meaning they lack reliable access to enough food for a healthy, active life. The Food Frenzy gives Alabama’s legal community the opportunity to join together to help local families meet these needs. In South Alabama, donations will support Feeding the Gulf Coast.

The Food Frenzy is structured as a friendly competition. To participate as a group, click here to sign up your firm, organization, department, or office. Individuals can donate online during the contest period, crediting their donation to their law firm or legal organization. When the Frenzy ends, awards for the top fundraisers will be presented by category (sole practitioner, small/medium/large firm, legal organization). The team that raises the most money per employee will win the Attorney General’s Cup. 

Last year’s Food Frenzy raised more than $58,000 statewide—a new record. Let’s see if we can do even better this year! If you have any questions about the Food Frenzy, contact Tiffany Ray at tiffany@taylormartino.com.

DIED:  MBA Member Andrea Pearson Pennington died on March 11, 2023. A native Mobilian, Andrea’s education began at Miss Kitty Shepherd’s School in Monterey Place. She later attended Leinkauf School and Julius T. Wright School for Girls, where she was valedictorian of the Class of 1962. After graduating from Sweet Briar College and the University of Alabama School of Law, Andrea formed a law partnership with her husband, Al Pennington. Subsequently, she served as an assistant district attorney and then, for 31 years, as a referee in juvenile court. Her profession was her vocation. She believed in the potential of every child who came into her courtroom and sought to protect them as if they were her own children. Andrea was a member of the Community Board of the Junior League of Mobile and Volunteer Mobile, a founding member of the Old Dauphin Way Association, and a lifelong avid tennis player. She is survived by her husband, two daughters, three granddaughters, and two grandsons.

KUDOS: On March 3, 2023, Business Alabama recognized five of Alabama’s most influential leaders with its inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award. It is no surprise that MBA Member Abe Mitchell was included in this distinguished group. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Abe earned his law degree from the University of Alabama and his LLM in taxation from NYU. Abe and his brother, Mayer, founded the Mitchell Company, which became one of the most successful real estate development firms in the Southeast and one of the largest employers in Mobile. Abe is one of Alabama’s leading philanthropists in support of higher education. His contributions to the University of South Alabama reach $100 million, making him the most generous donor in the history of the institution. In Mobile, Abe is known for his support of Congregation Ahavas Chesed, along with the Mobile Public Library, the Mobile Arts Council, and the Mobile Symphony Orchestra, among many others. He was chosen Mobilian of the Year in 2006 and, in 2017, was recognized as “Alabama’s Top Philanthropist.” Congratulations, Abe!
