Our rockin’ co-counsel, Tim Walton, was named the Idaho Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Idaho Trial Lawyers Association. Way to go, Tim! Like us, Tim’s law practice focuses on obtaining justice for victims of childhood sexual abuse.
Tim and his law partner, Andy Chasan, work with us representing over 20 men in Idaho who were sexually exploited and abused as children by their Boy Scout troop leaders, many in troops sponsored by the Mormon Church.
We were in Boise earlier this month, where I argued an appeal in our Boy Scout/LDS Church case at the Idaho Supreme Court. We filed the case in the Federal District Court of Idaho, but the federal judge “certified” a couple of legal issues for the Idaho Supreme Court to decide. We hope to get a decision soon.
