On June 7, 2014, I had the privilege of presenting at the American College of Trial Lawyers’ New England Regional Meeting, along with Retired Rhode Island Supreme Court Chief Justice Frank J. Williams, on the Court’s Management of High Profile Civil and Criminal Cases. Our presentation highlighted the trial court’s management of high-profile cases through the lens of the Block Island rape case of the late 1990s, which commonly was known as the Yellow Kittens Case and the appellate court’s management of high-profile cases through the lens of the Lead Paint case, which came before the Rhode Island Supreme Court in 2008 after the longest civil trial in the state’s history.
