I am excited to speak about the American Revolution in Tuscaloosa on June 25 and hope you will consider attending: “Understanding How a Revolution Started and How it Changed After It Succeeded”
Our Court has just amended Alabama Rule of Civil Procedure 70A to make clear the unadjudicated claims for contempt are deemed denied and thus judgments are final and capable of appeal. This can be particularly important in domestic relations cases.
Very proud of my friend and newly confirmed federal judge. @JudgeBillLewis Well done. And a big thank you to our two very effective senators. I saw them working the floor.
With the addition of Bill Lewis to our Court, we recently had a new Court photo. Given his federal nomination, we will have to make the most of our time with him. Very proud to serve with him and all of my colleagues. @JudgeBillLewis
Final results for Kimberly Cook race (very slight change). Very grateful for everyone’s help. God is good #vestavia
Our Court has just adopted an important rule allowing for litigants to request a limited extension of time deadlines for technical problems. We always prefers that each case be decided on its merits, however I urge lawyers to read the details because this is a narrow exception.
Honored to have the opportunity to speak on a panel with 7 other justices today at @AlabamaStateBar meeting and then speak on a panel on appellate law with Eleventh Circuit Chief Judge Bill Pryor and Marc Ayers. The Alabama Bar has put on a great meeting.
Our Court had a wonderful trip to @north_alabama for oral arguments. I had the opportunity to guest teach Business Law and tour the campus and meet the bench and bar from Lauderdale and Colbert counties and see so many friends and family. I love the Shoals area.
The Supreme Court of Alabama will be holding public oral argument at @north_alabama on Wednesday April 2 at 10:00.
A picture of our full Court after the 2025 investitures. Very humbled to serve with these fine jurists.
Our Court issued a unanimous order Friday to make clear procedures for excusing prospective jurors including nursing mothers. #lawtwitter #law @StateCourts @The_ACDLA @AlabamaDAA @Birmingham_Bar @AlabamaStateBar @ALDefenseLaw @CumberlandLaw @FaulknerLaw @UALawSchool
I am always so encouraged when I attend @FedSoc. We had over 2400 and the leading conservative scholars and judges - and so many young people. The future is bright and debate is vigorous. Happy to see Justices Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh and Breyer. Thank you #fedsoc2024
Amazing day watching the admission of my daughter @MaryCat48916003 to the @AlabamaStateBar. I am so proud of her. A big thanks to the Bar and our Court for making it such a joyful day.
Just attended oral argument at the Supreme Court. For anyone who has ever questioned the legitimacy of our the US Supreme Court, please come listen to what true intelligent and civil debate is.
Our Court amended Alabama Rule of Evidence 106 last week. It amends the rule to be consistent with certain recent changes to the federal rule. It allows the admission of evidence for purpose of completeness even if the statement is not written and makes style changes.
It has been 33 years since my law school graduation from @Harvard_Law and so proud to see my daughter graduate from my alma mater. Congratulations @MaryCat48916003
