Judge Scola's Next Chapter

By John R. Byrne

Judge Scola has only been retired a few months, and we already miss him. But I have some exciting news. The civil lawyers out there will soon be able to get some more Judge Scola in their lives. Beginning in May, the retired judge will be joining the law firm of Coffey Burlington with a focus on alternative dispute resolution. He's going to be a mediator. 

I think Judge Scola is going to be great at this. As a trial judge, he was exceedingly pragmatic and had a knack for cutting to the heart of an issue. Now, he can use those talents to knock some sense into civil lawyers and their clients and get deals done. 

He's not on the website yet but I'm sure he's going to be in high demand once he is. Keep him in mind for your future cases!
