“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” -ABOLITIONIST THEODORE PARKER, C. 1850’S. As I struggled with the message for this month, that quotation came to mind. I thought, we must believe in the truth of that statement down to our core, otherwise, we could lose hope. I next searched for the context of the quotation and, like most of us, I attributed the statement to DR. MARTIN L. KING. He used it in his “Where do we go from here” address to the SOUTHERN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE in 1967. The following passage from Dr. King’s speech provides greater context and echoes my apprehensions and thoughts:

I must confess, my friends, the road ahead will not always be smooth. There will be still rocky places of frustration and meandering points of bewilderment. There will be inevitable setbacks here and there. There will be those moments when the buoyancy of hope will be transformed into the fatigue of despair. Our dreams will sometimes be shattered and our ethereal hopes blasted. ... Difficult and painful as it is, we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future. ... When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize ‘the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.’

Dr. King must have taken great satisfaction in resurrecting Parker’s words. I say that because the “struggle” in King’s time sprang from the same source that inspired Parker. THEODORE PARKER, was a Unitarian minister from Massachusetts, and an abolitionist. Parker’s staunch belief sprang from the collective effort to end slavery in this country. He did not know when slavery would end, but he was

A BIT OF HUMOR:An office manager was asking a female applicant if she had any unusual

talents. She said she had won several prizes in crossword puzzles and slogan writing contests.

“Sounds good,” the manager told her. “But we want somebody who will be smart during office hours.”

“Oh,” said the lady, “This was during office hours.”

sure it would. These were his words:I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I

cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.

Dr. King distilled Parker’s words to its bare essence. The thought is more focused, he stated as fact, a truism, and he provided added context.

My renewed interest in Parker’s quotation came from a hopeful and inspiring story. Yet, by the end of the story I was feeling overwhelmed by the immensity of the challenge. Parker’s words provided a calming counterbalance. The story was told in a documentary titled: “A Small Act.”

The documentary relates the story of HILDE BACK, a former teacher living in Sweden. Ms. Back sent fifteen dollars a month to Kenya to sponsor a child’s education. At the time, Ms. Back did not know the recipients of her gesture. She simply thought that helping a child was normal and acted in the hope it would make a difference. A young Kenyan boy, CHRIS MBURU, was one of the beneficiaries of her grace. Mburu made the most of the opportunity. Not only did he finish high school, he eventually graduated from HARVARD LAW SCHOOL. Today, he is a human rights lawyer with the UNITED NATIONS. He has worked with victims of genocide in Kosovo and Rwanda. A Kenyan girl, whose name I do not recall, was also a beneficiary of the same fund. She followed CHRIS MBURU’S educational path and became a human rights advocate in Kosovo with the United Nations. Unknown to either of them, at time, HILDE BACK was also a Holocaust survivor. This, to me, is more than mere coincidence.

Since his life was transformed by HILDE BACK’S generosity, Mr. Mburu started a foundation to help other Kenyan children. He named it the HILDE BACK FOUNDATION. The documentary also tells the story of Kenyan children studying to compete for the scholarships sponsored by the HILDE BACK FOUNDATION. They live deep in the Kenyan interior, in small farming communities where there is no electricity and they still extract water from a well. Some children are shown studying at night using a small wick lamp for a light source. The children, and their families, understand that the scholarship may be their children’s only way out. None of these families can afford to send their children to school beyond the primary levels.

To celebrate the formation of the HILDE BACK FOUNDATION, and to honor the children chosen for scholarships, CHRIS MBURU mounted a search to find HILDE BACK. He succeeded in finding Ms. Back and they met for the first time. Mburu’s visit and his single-minded search to find her stunned Ms. Back. His invitation to the celebration of THE HILDE BACK FOUNDATION overwhelmed her.

As the students await the results of their exams, and to see who would be chosen for the scholarships, a controversial presidential election in Kenya descends into sectarian violence. The violence was eerily similar to atrocities in Kosovo and Rwanda. Mburu was shocked to see this in his country. It is then that he declares that education is a life or death matter. The lack of education he says creates a breeding ground for misinformation, intolerance and violence.

During the documentary, I could not help but think of the squandered opportunities for education in our country. I thought of the high school dropout crisis, here and throughout the country. In America education is free and universally available. Secondary education is compulsory, but, increasingly seen as a matter of choice. The Kenyans, in contrast, survive with the bare necessities, know that their families cannot afford the cost of sending them to secondary or higher education. As a result many there seem to have a keener understanding of the value of an education.

The children who choose to drop out do not appreciate what they are giving up. The scale of the drop out crisis suggests, however, that the problem is well beyond those children and their parents. It is a social problem, one that we must address as a community.

Small acts of grace, here by one who survived unspeakable acts, and by another who reached back to offer a helping hand to his community, have a ripple effect. These acts connected and lit the way, inspiring children and communities to dream and achieve well beyond their means or perceived limitations, even in the midst of dark times. We can similarly overcome our educational, and other social challenges. These stories confirm hope in Parker’s words, ‘the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.’

In Owens-Illinois, Inc. v. Wells, No. 1070213 (Ala., April 23, 2010), the Supreme Court held that Alabama’s 20-year rule of repose on a claim did not begin running until the plaintiff sustained

damages under the claim as opposed to when the defendant’s actions occurred..

Continuing its recent jurisdictional trends, the Supreme Court in Knoedler v. Blinco, No. 1081124 (Ala., April 23, 2010), dismissed an appeal from a summary judgment order on the plaintiff’s claim because the trial court had not entered a ruling on the defendant’s counterclaim of a Rule 54(b) certification.

Substantially distinguishing, if not overruling, the prior case of Birmingham News v. Horn, 901 So. 2d 27 (Ala. April 23, 2010), and pursuant to the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Hall Street Associates, L.L.C. v. Mattel, Inc., 552 U.S. 576 (2008), the Alabama Supreme Court in Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. v. Dolphin Line, Inc., No. 1081277 (Ala., April 23, 2010), held that, under the Federal Arbitration Act, an arbitration award could not be set aside solely upon a showing by the unhappy party that the arbitrator had acted in manifest disregard of the law.

In a somewhat unique case, the Supreme Court in Ex parte Attorney General Troy King, No. 1090295 (Ala., April 23, 2010), held that a group of plaintiffs lacked standing to contend that the Alabama Constitution had not been validly adopted due to voter fraud..

In Boudreaux v. Kemp, No. 1080309 (Ala., April 16, 2010), the Alabama Supreme Court held that a default judgment was void because some fo the defendants had been improperly served by publication and that the fact that some of them appeared at the “trial” of the proceeding, albeit without any material participation, did not waive the defective service.

In Coilplus Alabama, Inc. v. Vann, No. 1080618 (Ala., April 16, 2010), the Supreme Court held that a legal malpractice claim arising out of counsel’s erroneous opinion that a certain bond issue would be tax-exempt was barred by the statute of limitations. For purposes of the statutory analysis, the Court concluded that damages arose, and thus commenced running the general statute, when the bonds were issued, even though the client was unaware that they were not tax exempt. The Court also concluded that the client was placed on notice to commence the six-month grace period when the IRS memo was first written indicating a question as to the tax-exempt status of the bonds. Finally, the Court held that the general two-year “fraud” discovery rule of Ala. Code § 6-2-3 was inapplicable because there was no evidence that the attorney consciously knew that his opinion had been erroneous and that he consciously suppressed that information from the client.

In Wehle v. Bradley, No. 1081433 (Ala., April 16, 2010), the Supreme Court held that a personal representative of a decedent’s estate could not pay himself compensation without prior order of court and further held that the general will language exempting the personal representative from bond and inventory and providing that no report or accounting had to be filed with the court did not constitute an exemption from the general rule requiring court approval prior to payment of commissions.

Following its prior ruling in Baldwin v. Branch, 888 So. 2d 482 (Ala. 2004), the Supreme Court in Ex parte Byrom, No. 1061806 (April 9, 2010), held that the anti-lapse provision of Ala. Code § 43-8-225 did not apply to trusts. The Court noted that, under Ala. Code § 19-3B-112, effective January 1, 2007, this holding would be different.

In another case involving technical appellate jurisdiction issues, the Supreme Court in Sledge v. IC Corp., No. 1080087 (Ala., April 2, 2010), dismissed an appeal from a partial summary judgment order that contained a Rule 54(b) certification on the ground that it could not, as a matter of law, be certified as a final judgment. The underlying claim was one for wrongful death, and the Court noted that there is only one claim for wrongful death, even though it may be premised on several different theories. Thus, when the trial court granted partial summary judgment for the defendants on one of the theories but left other theories allegedly supporting the wrongful death claim open, it could not be said that any one “claim” had been finally disposed of by the order, and, thus, the order could not be appealed as a final order under Rule 54(b).

In last month’s article, I mistakenly left out a sponsor of the Golf Tournament – the MOBILE COUNTY DISTRICT JUDGES. We certainly appreciate the judges’ sponsorship, and all of our local judges who played in the tournament.

On August 19, the Young Lawyers are hosting our annual BAND PARTY at VEET’S on Royal Street beginning at 5:30. Since they were such a hit at the party last year, THE UGLI STICK will once again provide the musical entertainment. We are asking for a small donation at the door benefiting the BAY AREA FOOD BANK, which provides food to meet the challenge of feeding people who are hungry as a result of personal crisis or disaster. I also want to thank this year’s sponsors of the Band Party: ALEX ZOGHBY; FREEDOM COURT REPORTING; HAND ARENDALL; HENDERSON & ASSOCIATES; JENNIFER BARBER, COURT REPORTER; AND SOURCE ONE. We certainly could not do what we do without the generous support of our sponsors, and I cannot thank them enough.

Finally, I want to thank ROCKWELL AND KAUFMAN again for a job well done on last month’s meeting at CALLAGHAN’S. Sadly, BRIAN MURPHY was soundly defeated in his arm wrestling challenge, losing matches to WIN STUARDI, RICHARD FRANKLIN, and three really mean GIRL SCOUTS from local troop # 2874 on Old Shell Road. Better luck next time, Brian.
