Happy 60th Birthday to former POTUS, Barack Obama! Before making history as the first African American President of the United States, he was an attorney. He is a graduate of both Columbia University and Harvard Law School. Upon returning to his hometown of Chicago after graduating, he joined a small law firm specializing in civil rights litigation and economic development. During his time as an attorney, he was involved in four cases as counsel before the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., was born in Shreveport, Louisiana on October 2, 1937. His parents Johnnie Cochran, Sr., and Hattie Cochran taught Johnnie the value of a great work ethic that would eventually take him all the way to the top of the American Legal System. Johnnie had two sisters, Pearl and Martha Jean Cochran. Despite the pressures of Jim Crow laws paired with the lingering effects of The Great Depression, Johnnie’s childhood was a happy time and made lifelong memories. Some of his fondest memories were made with his family at church on Sundays. A turning point in his childhood occurred at age six when he and his family boarded a ship to California. This migration to the West was his family’s first experience where people of all religions and races lived alongside one another.

Cochran, Jr., and his partners have successfully represented people throughout the country.

On this day in 1847, Judge Abraham Caruthers founded Cumberland with the singular purpose of preparing students for the practice of law.
From the ashes of the original law school in Lebanon, Tennessee, that was burned during the Civil War, to the move to Birmingham, Alabama, in the 1960s, Cumberland never faltered from that noble mission.
Today 175 years later, Cumberland School of Law is still preparing students to be leaders in law.

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including formerly enslaved people, and guaranteed all citizens equal protection of the laws.
In its later sections, the 14th Amendment authorized the federal government to punish states that violated or abridged their citizens’ right to vote by proportionally reducing the states’ representation in Congress and mandated that anyone who “engaged in insurrection” against the United States could not hold civil, military or elected office.

The Cochran Firm and The Ron Settles Memorial Foundation held the inaugural Ron Settles Memorial Golf Tournament in Memphis, TN. The foundation awarded four scholarships to students who are pursuing education and career paths in civil rights, criminal justice, and education. The scholarships were presented by previous scholarship awardee Tytianna Pope, who also interned at The Cochran Firm Memphis. Foundation Members and Cochran Firm attorneys traveled from across the country to participate in the tournament and teams included kids and adults alike. The Cochran Firm is very excited to have had the opportunity to sponsor kids from First Tee - Tennessee to play in the tournament.
The tournament was a resounding success and we look forward to many more years fun, fellowship, and support for promising young students who want to make the world a better place. We would like to thank the foundation for including The Cochran Firm in this mission of serving young people while celebrating the life of Ron Settles.
We would also like to thank all of the Cochran Firm attorneys who traveled to participate and support the tournament, and especially Howard Manis, Managing Partner of The Cochran Firm Mid-South in Memphis for hosting the event.

The outrageously strong winds found in hurricanes and tornadoes routinely cause devastating damage to communities throughout America, a fact that is only compounded by the risk of flood damage. Hot, dry summers make some states prone to wildfires that can easily consume vast areas of land, blazing out of control and burning anything that stands in the way. Earthquakes can cause significant damage, which rattles structures, causing harm and destruction. Winter storms bring hail and freezing temperatures that can cause extreme damage to your property.
