Legal Grounds | Darl Champion On Holding the Right People Accountable, Winning vs. Problem Solving, and the Importance of Civility in Leadership
The line between zealous representation and being an obstinate ass is often said to be a fine-line to walk as attorneys.
After all, if the OTHER side is playing hardball, the temptation to fight fire with MORE fire can almost seem like a responsibility.
But as my guest today so eloquently puts it, “lawyers that fight over every issue do it because they don’t know the issues that actually matter.”
This week I was lucky to be joined by veteran trial attorney and founding partner of The Champion Firm, Darl Champion.
Consistently recognized in the National Trial Lawyers ‘Top 100’ in the State of Georgia, he has represented clients in every federal district court in Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals, Georgia Supreme Court, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and numerous state and superior courts throughout Georgia.
In our conversation we discuss the slow erosion of civility on both sides of the docket, how lawyers of impact, be they defense or plaintiff, have more in common than not, and why more of us need to approach our cases with the mindset of problem solving, not winning.
As always, enjoy the show.
