And Now for the Rest of the Story

Steve LinginLawyer, via cable feed from the Queen Charlotte Islands, and Chuck Kimbrough had the pleasure as lawyers of introducing Justice Tom Chambers of the Washington Supreme Court.

Tom has enjoyed a very distinguished career as an attorney, successfully trying many significant cases in the state of Washington, and he has been a prolific writer and commentator on trial practice and other legal matters. Tom is also a devoted member of his community. He and his wife have participated in many service programs and his wife is right now in Uganda ministering to Pigmy children orphaned by HIV. Incidentally, Tom stated that his wife had told him she was pleased he was speaking at Rotary, as the International Rotary Movement is one of the few organizations making a difference in dealing with the HIV crises in Uganda.

This scribe, another attorney (but not a Steve), was most interested in Justice Chambers’ remarks, since it was one of the rare occasions when a sitting justice has actually commented on specific cases that were decided by the Washington Supreme Court. Judges speak often, but usually on general legal matters and very seldom feel comfortable on speaking about specific cases.

Tom’s reason for speaking on some of the high-profile cases decided by the Washington Supreme Court in the last year was to make clear what the Supreme Court actually ruled, and ruled on rather than the way such decisions were reported in the media.
