Baron & Budd Asbestos Memo - Legacy

Legacy

No member of Baron & Budd "has been convicted of wrongdoing, disciplined, or sanctioned" for the use of the memo. But no one ever deposed the paralegal who wrote the memo, her immediate supervisors, or the clients who supposedly were prepared with the memo to testify. Baron does not take the position that these court decisions in his favor "absolutely vindicate that the memo was proper," but he does insist that "the document cannot be evaluated properly without ‘context,’ and points to Terrell’s sworn statement that she always orally instructed clients to tell the truth and that she never gave the memo to clients without also handing them a copy of a second article that admonishe them to testify truthfully."
