Elizabeth Sharrock and Rebecca Newman defended one of several contractors accused of creating environmental nuisances in the course of construction of an interstate highway. A motion to dismiss was the opening move. Distressed with the prospect of dismissal, the plaintiffs sought-- and got --recusal of the trial judge. Twice over. The plaintiffs appealed and appealed and appealed and appealed. The motion to dismiss eventually was heard and was granted-- a job completed six years prior would not be the subject of any trial. All the back-and-forth with the appellate courts and the rotating cast of trial judges delayed but did not deny justice in this case.
