Tina v. Paul (West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, 2005)

Standing for Fairness When It Mattered Most

In this landmark 2005 case, Jim Douglas represented an unpopular and difficult cause when no other attorney would take the case — and ultimately prevailed before the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. The case reflects a core belief that everyone deserves fair representation and that courts must protect equal treatment under the law, even when the issue is controversial.
