    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.

  • December 2009 Docket
    The Docket Volume 9, No. 11 December 2009 A Proud Day to Be a Lawyer I hope you share in my deep respect for the privilege of calling yourself a lawyer. While there are days I question whether I should have chosen an easier profession or vocation (unfortunately, my dreams of an NFL career came to an end in the 6th grade), I have a number of days each year when I know without reservation that I am pursuing the career I believe God prepared me to do at this stage of my life. One of those days was November 3, 2009 when I participated in the first ever Montgomery County Bar Association Legal Clinic. I personally visited with two clients which was in itself rewarding. However, the most rewarding thing for me that day was to see a diverse segment of our Bar come together for a great cause. At the clinic, a number of solo firm lawyers, Plaintiff lawyers and Defense lawyers (civil and criminal) all worked together to serve the public by providing free legal counsel to the disadvantaged.. It was one of the best pictures of our State Bar’s motto---“Lawyers Render Service.” I hope you will consider participating in the Legal Clinic in future months. Please call me if you want more information. This edition of our newsletter may be the most read legal publication in the whole State due to the traditional December column prepared by Bobby Segall. Bobby has been preparing his list of notable lawyers (and sometimes suspects) for as long as I can remember while at the same time being one of the busiest lawyers in the whole state.

Fuller for Misconduct. Judge Mark E. Fuller has engaged in conduct that is prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts, has undermined public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary, has created a strong appearance of impropriety, and has used of the power of his office to seek a financial advantage in state court actions he was a party to, among other important breaches of the Judicial Code of Conduct. Part of this complaint arises out of the information that came to light after Fuller was arrested on August 10, 2014, in Atlanta, GA for Battery Substantial Physical Harm - Family Violence (1st Offense) a Misdemeanor.i The victim was his wife, Kelli Gregg Fuller, Fuller's former Courtroom Deputy.

    THOMAS V. SJOBLOM International Square Attorney At Law Suite 500 1875 I Street, N.W. Washington D.C. 20006 (202) 429-7125 Email: [email protected] www.tvs-law.com December 29, 2016 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington DC. 20500 Dear President Obama: I write on behalf of my client, Richard M. Scrushy, who was prosecuted in 2006 along with former Governor Don Siegelman of Alabama in an effort by certain known and unknown Republican political operatives in Washington, D.C. and Alabama to remove Governor Siegelman, a popular Democratic candidate, from the political scene. The basis for the prosecution of my client and Governor Siegelman was the repayment of a loan to the Democratic Party following an unsuccessful initiative to establish a state run lottery to fund statewide education, especially for low income children. Mr. Scrushy and I entreat you to grant a timely pardon under Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution based on the several improprieties that occurred in this prosecution. I am aware that a similar request on behalf of Governor Siegleman has been made of Your Office as President. 1. Political and Selective Prosecution Our democratic electoral process depends on private contributions to finance political campaigns. The Supreme Court has held in the clearest terms that the ability of candidates to seek contributions and the right of citizens to support political candidates with their contributions are essential to our democracy. Indeed, it is activity protected by the Constitution. McCormack v. United States, 500 U.S.
