RANKING OF THE TOP 10 WEALTHIEST PLAINTIFF LAWYERS IN MISSISSIPPI.
Here is my list:
1. David Nutt
2. Dickie Scruggs
3. Danny Cupit
4. Paul Minor
5. Don Barrett
6. Richard Schwartz
7. Crymes Pittman
8. Joey Langston
9. Jim Shannon
10. Shane Langston
Second question, how many of Mississippi’s top 10 wealthiest plaintiff lawyers ever took a bar exam, or passed a bar ethics exam? Remember the Ole Miss diploma privilege exempted Ole Miss law grads from the requirement to take and pass the bar exam. Ethics was on the bar exam!
What is the status of placing attorney complaints and discipline under the control of independent consumer control boards (instead of the bar associations)? This was tried in Illinois about 12 years ago as I recall but deep-sixed under lawyer pressure.
I personally wonder why the case for tort reform isn’t being taken to the streets, given the amount of public antipathy toward lawyers.
