Philip H. Corboy Featured in American Bar Association Journal

Philip H. Corboy of Chicago's Corboy & Demetrio is one of five leading U.S. trial lawyers featured in an article in the July issue of the American Bar Association Journal.

In the article entitled "How I Solved My Evidence Problem," Corboy, a nationally recognized civil plaintiffs' attorney, writes about an evidentiary problem he encountered more than a decade ago--how to defeat evidence once it has been admitted at trial. Corboy's solution? Try the case with the appellate court in view. Corboy did just that and won a reversal of a verdict for the defense.

In the ABA Journal article, Corboy joins a family law practitioner, a commercial litigator, a criminal defense lawyer and a personal injury defense attorney, who also relate solutions to specific evidentiary issues that have arisen in their trial practices.

Earlier this year Corboy was named one of the country's I00 most influential lawyers in a triennial survey by The National Law Journal, a distinction he has garnered since the survey's inception in 1985. A past chairman of the ABA Litigation Section, Corboy also is named in the newest (1997-98) edition of The Best Lawyers in America. He has been featured in that book since its first publication in 1987.
