On July 26, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit set aside an injunction that would have required four of TVA’s coal-fired power plants in Alabama and Tennessee to install environmental controls costing between $1-$3 billion. In a 34-page opinion, the Fourth Circuit unanimously concluded that the district court’s injunction “compromised principles of federalism by applying North Carolina law extraterritorially to TVA plants located in Alabama and Tennessee.” Kevin Newsom, who chairs BABC’s appellate litigation group, argued the case for the State of Alabama, which intervened (in support of TVA) to protect its sovereign interests. TVA was very well represented by in-house counsel Harriet Cooper.

Diversity

At Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, we recognize that a commitment to diversity is not just a passive ideal, but an active goal. We are committed to building a workforce comprised of a variety of backgrounds, experiences, ideas and perspectives, and that reflects the clients we serve. We are committed to providing a workplace that is open and respectful, and values the different talents, ideas, expertise and contributions that each individual brings to the table.

The benefits of diversity in the workplace guide us in continually evaluating our progress, identifying areas for improvement and creatively addressing obstacles we may encounter along the way. Our commitment to diversity parallels our commitment to meeting the highest standards of legal excellence, exceptional service and innovation for our clients.

Through our Diversity Scholarship we have committed to the funding of scholarships each year to promote the education of well-qualified law students who reflect the diversity of the legal marketplace and who are traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession. Bradley Arant Boult Cummings will award two scholarships to two deserving students. A $10,000 scholarship will be awarded to a student in his or her second year of law school, and a $5,000 scholarship will be awarded to a student in his or her first year of law school. These scholarships will be available to law students attending ABA accredited law schools in the United States. The scholarships will be paid directly to the students or to their law schools.

In connection with receiving the scholarship, recipients will be required to clerk in one of BABC’s seven offices for at least six weeks of the summer after the scholarship is awarded. BABC will do its best to honor the scholarship recipient’s first choice for office placement but maintains the right to make the final decision.

The deadline for applying for the scholarship is February 15, 2012 for first-year law students. To apply, please submit an application to mscrews@babc.com.
