“What’s great about being a trial lawyer is if you do it long enough something weird and wacky is gonna happen,” Jonathan Pope said to an audience of lawyers and judges at the 2023 State Bar of Georgia’s Annual Meeting on June 8 in Savannah.

Pope, a plaintiffs’ attorney, said he has seen almost 50 jury trials throughout his career, including a dental malpractice case where a dentist was abusing his own stash of Fentanyl and a trucking case where a driver forged his medical certificate.
