Post: The New Johnny Cochran
Posted by Hardy Parkerson, Atty. - Lake Charles, LA on 11/06/06
Dear Counsel.Net Friends, I am no Johnny Cochran, although I aspire to be as great a lawyer as he was. We all must have goals, so my goal is to become "The New Johnny Cochran". Frankly, I am sure I could never fill his shoes, but what's wrong with wanting to be big enough as a lawyer to do so! So it's really with tongue-in-cheek that I call myself "The New Johnny Cochran". There is no doubt about it, he was one of the greatest lawyers of all times, just like the great Gerry Spence, and the late, great Melvin Belli, and the late grest Jack Rogers of Louisiana, and the great retired lawyer from Lake Charles Robert M. "Bob" McHale, and the great Nathan Cormie of Louisiana, still practicing full speed ahead after almost fifty years, if not more; and, let us not overlook the late, great A. Lane Plauche of Louisiana and Tulane Law fame. We have as great lawyers in Louisiana as in any other place in American and the world. So when I refer to myself as "The New Johnny Cochran", don't get mad at me; I could just as well say the same about myself and any of the other great lawyers of whom I have named above. Who knows! I might one day make it as a great lawyer myself! Who knows! Only time will tell! Sincerely, Hardy Parkerson, Atty. Lake Charles, LA Tulane Law, Class of 1966 (former collge room-mate of the great Louisiana lawyer William D. "Bill" Treeby, No. 2 man in the Tulane Law Class of 1966, second only to the great Cornell International Law Professor John Jack Barcello, III, also of the Tulane Law Class of 1966)
