A litigator recently recognized for being a distinguished leader is gaining national attention after a judge vacated his client’s $1.5 million verdict and granted a new trial in connection to social media posts made by the plaintiff attorney.

As word of the jurist’s discretionary ruling spreads, attorneys across the nation are weighing in on the implications of the Georgia order. From ethics experts to constitutional attorneys, legal professionals are divided over the developing dispute.
