No matter how you personally feel about smoking, there is
definite evidence that smoking in small, confined spaces can be
hazardous to the young and the elderly. Think twice before
lighting up in the car. If you would like help to quit smoking,
you can call the Ohio Quit Line at 1-800-784-8669 or the
Lawrence County Health Department at 532-3962.

SALTER: ODD MEMORIES OF A 1997 OLE MISS TOBACCO SETTLEMENT SEMINAR

The seminar was entitled: "The Tobacco Settlement: Practical
Implications and the Future of the Tort Law."
I moderated a panel discussion that included three of the major
players in the national tobacco settlement - then national Big
Tobacco lobbyist and former Republican National Committee
chairman Haley Barbour of Yazoo City, then-Mississippi Attorney
General Mike Moore and then-lead tobacco litigation negotiator
"Dickie" Scruggs.
From my notes 11 years ago, a few random observations on the
night's seminar discussion:
* Neither Moore nor Scruggs was at all forthcoming at the
seminar when asked the total of the legal fees Scruggs would be
receiving, how Moore determined the fee structure that would
govern Scruggs' fees and expense reimbursements and how much the
other 12 law firms involved in Mississippi's tobacco suit would
get. . . .
Fordice died. Barbour's now governor. Moore's defending Scruggs'
son, Zach, on the same charges to which his father pleaded guilty
- and the same questions linger today that lingered in 1997 at
the Ole Miss Law School about Mississippi's tobacco litigation,
the legal fees and the political relationships and entanglements
that perhaps forever changed Mississippi's legal landscape.
