Ind. Law - More on: Indiana Lawyer James Bopp Jr. featured in Nov. ABA Journal

On Nov. 3 the ILB had an entry on Terre Haute attorney James Bopp Jr. being the focus of a cover story in the ABA Journal. Today Howard Greninger of the TH Trib-Star has a story headlined "Bopp turns cover boy for national legal issues mag." It begins:

TERRE HAUTE — It’s a nickname not heard since his fraternity days in Kappa Sigma while attending Indiana University, and needless to say, it brought a chuckle to James Bopp Jr. when he saw the cover of the November issue of the ABA Journal.

The cover reads: “The BIG BOPPER, Exploding the canons of judicial ethics.”

“I didn’t think there was anybody still alive that still remembered that nickname,” Bopp said Monday in a telephone interview. “I was truly honored that the work that I have done, and other people in my law firm have done with me, would be profiled and be the featured cover article. It was very humbling.”
