See You In Court

Nick Moraitakis: Losing an Election and Winning a Jury Trial


Listen Later

In this short clip from the See You In Court podcast, veteran trial lawyer Nick Moraitakis shares one of the more unusual moments from his career in public life.

Nick once ran for the Georgia State Legislature and famously lost an election to Ben Jones, known to many as “Cooter” from The Dukes of Hazzard.

The story is funny, but it leads to a deeper reflection about the emotional highs and lows that come with careers in law, politics, and public service.

As Nick puts it, you have not truly lived the highs and lows of life until you have lost an election and won a jury trial.

It is a moment that perfectly captures the perspective that comes from decades inside Georgia’s courtrooms and the civil justice system.
