The Atlanta Lawyer November 2018 | Page 23

former President of the State Bar
of Georgia. The chapter entitled
Executive Compensation (Chapter
107) was produced by Todd David
and Lisa Bugni of Alston and Bird,
and I must not overlook the King
and spalding contributors -- Dan
King and John Brumbaugh on Sanc-
tions (Chapter 59), as well as Chil-
ton Varner and Stephen Devereaux
on Food and Drug (Chapter 112).
I would have to say that Atlanta's
Bar is well-represented among the
outstanding contributors to these
tomes.

To sum it up: This is an extraordi-
nary work in its scope and quality.
These articles offer the trial lawyer
a place to go to scout out the lay
of the land, to review basic prin-
ciples, or to provide legal context to
a narrower problem, knowing she
can do so with confidence that the
information is from experienced
practitioners and judges who know
what they are talking about. Having
litigated in the federal courts as a
lawyer in business cases and having
presided over and managed busi-
ness and commercial litigation as
a United States Magistrate Judge,
I can attest that this is a work that
I would want on the shelf in my
library if I were a commercial liti-
gator, and in the Court's library as
well, readily accessible to the judges
and law clerks dealing with these
cases from the bench side. It prom-
ises to be a work well-thumbed,
even in this digital age, and defi-
nitely well-worth having among
your resources.
