Kerri Barsh and Jennifer Corinis review and compare this SCOTUS decision and its impact to other similar SCOTUS decisions.
The J. Clifford Cheatwood American Inn of Court is an award-winning Platinum Level Inn in the American Inn of Courts system. Former Circuit Chief Judge J. Clifford Cheatwood agreed to head up the new Inn’s organizing committee, and then Circuit Judge Susan Bucklew volunteered to serve on it, as well. At the Fourth Annual Meeting of the American Inns of Court in Washington, D.C., Inn, the Inn was awarded its charter by the American Inns of Court Foundation. Shortly thereafter, the Inn took the name of the illustrious Florida jurist Justice William Glenn Terrell, and in September 1988 the Inn held its first dinner meeting.
Although American Inns of Court are permitted to have a specialized focus, and many these days do, the original focus of the Cheatwood Inn was on litigation, civil or criminal, federal or state, administrative or appellate, bankruptcy or family law; any issues implicated in litigation were fair game and this is still so. Of course, the issues involved in litigation these days include alternative dispute mechanisms and appropriate interaction with the media, the grievance process, and the impact of computers in the courtroom. The definition is wide-ranging. In 2005, the Inn changed its name to the J. Clifford Cheatwood Inn, in honor of one of its founding members and former Circuit Chief Judge for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit.
