(0 comments)
NCAJ President David Pishko announced the very sad news of the passing of Howard Twiggs yesterday, March 4, 2010. NCAJ members are expressing their love and gratitude for the life of this great trial lawyer and advocate who spent a lifetime fighting for the civil rights of all people.
It is my sad duty to report to you that Howard Twiggs, a President Emeritus of the North Carolina Advocates for Justice, died this morning. Howard was our eighth President and a past President of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. He was a giant of the plaintiffs' bar and a constant reliable source of sage advice and inspirational leadership to our organization. He will be greatly missed. More details will follow.
Regards,
David Pishko
NCAJ President
