December 2013
The Docket VOLUME 13, ISSUE 11 DECEMBER 2013 Remembering a Life Well Lived By David Martin, MCBA President Our profession suffered a tremendous loss this past month with the passing of Mr. Oakley Melton, Jr. Mr. Melton was a true ―lawyer’s lawyer‖ and a leader in his profession, church and community. Mr. Melton served his country, was President of the SGA at Alabama and later served as President of both the MCBA and the Alabama State Bar. A large crowd of Mr. Melton’s friends, colleagues and admirers gathered at First United Methodist to ex- tend their condolences to Mr. Melton’s family and to celebrate a life well-lived. While Mr. Melton’s impres- sive professional accomplishments were mentioned, the service focused on the legacy that he left behind, a legacy that extended well beyond his many accomplishments and positions held. Instead, the legacy of a man of Mr. Melton’s stature is best captured through the words of those whose lives he touched, including the younger lawyers with whom he worked and for whom he always had the time to mentor and assist. The echoes of his legacy could also be heard through the words of the staff members at Melton, Espy & Williams. They shared that despite the many demands on his schedule, Mr. Melton took the time to attend their child’s wedding or share a consoling word when they had a loved one pass. The most moving example to me was the story told by one of his sons-in- law. He shared that at a family gathering many years ago, one of Mr. -

A Tribute to the Late Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr
2 DUBINA 633–639.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/21/20 12:48 PM A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JUDGE FRANK M. JOHNSON JR. Joel F. Dubina* It is an honor and a privilege for me to write this article honoring the career of my late colleague, mentor, and friend, Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. As a child growing up in Montgomery, Alabama, I had heard and read much about Judge Johnson, but it was not until 1973, while Joe Espy and I were clerking for United States District Judge Robert E. Varner, that I met Judge Johnson for the first time. That same year, Judge Johnson hired David Bagwell and Pat Sims as his law clerks. David and I grew up together in Montgomery, and when I visited David in Judge Johnson’s chambers to discuss current legal issues, I would occasionally see Judge Johnson. During one of these visits, David intro- duced me to “the Judge.” From the moment I first met the Judge, he seemed larger than life. His steely eyes bored into you from behind reading glasses that were perched precariously on his nose. It was so unnerving, and it was enough to make anyone with any sense tremble! Although years later I discovered that he had a warm side to him, when I was a young lawyer he scared me to death. The Judge was so important to the rule of law and to justice and equality during the tumultuous 1950s and 1960s that there have been five books written about him.1 As my colleague from Georgia, Judge R. -
