Arizona civil verdicts 2013 gavel

As July rushes headlong to a close, I offer suggestions for two pieces from the June Arizona Attorney Magazine, before it recedes into memory.

The first is related to a decade-long favorite feature article: our annual roundup of the previous year’s largest civil verdicts, written by attorney Kelly MacHenry.

This year’s well-written and -researched story is here. But that’s just part of Kelly’s accomplishment.

For this, our anniversary year, Kelly suggested we also include a roster of the top verdicts of the past decade.

When an author offers a great idea along with the labor and smarts to get the job done, there’s really only one thing an editor should say: “Yes, thank you!”

So enjoy Kelly’s story about 2013 verdicts. But rip out and save her list of the top 100 verdicts of the past decade, which begins here.

Tomorrow, I share a story and news of an upcoming event that should be on your calendar.
