On the Bench and in Private Practice, Leah Ward Sears Has Been a Master of Her Craft
Justice Harold Melton, a partner with Troutman Pepper, is quoted in the American Lawyer article, " On the Bench and in Private Practice, Leah Ward Sears Has Been a Master of Her Craft."
"I found her to be very open to input and when I disagreed, she at least wanted to hear it, and many times changed her mind," says Harold Melton, a partner at Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders who served on the bench with Sears as associate justice beginning in 2005 and later served as chief justice himself.
