AmLaw Litigation Daily Speaks to Mike Abrams on Fifth Circuit Opinion
6/3/2019
For Lathrop Gage partners Mike Abrams, Bill Beck and Alex Brown, the 5th Circuit’s opinion last week affirming the team’s win in S.D. of Mississippi is the culmination of over 6 years of fighting for the families of three black men in Mississippi who were wrongfully convicted and died from the injuries they sustained while imprisoned. On June 3, the AmLaw Litigation Daily spoke to Mike Abrams on the implications of this important decision holding insurers liable for civil rights violations, which will ultimately help hundreds or thousands of future exonorees and insured civil rights defendants vindicate their respective rights.
