Justin Simmons Recognized for “Article of the Year” by Virginia Association of Defense Attorneys (VADA)

Congratulations to Justin Simmons for taking home the prestigious honor of “Article of the Year” at last week’s VADA annual meeting in Williamsburg.

Justin earned the award for his article “The Shifting Sands of Virginia’s Misnomer-Misjoinder Jurisprudence” which was published in the Summer 2024 issue of VADA’s Journal of Civil Litigation. The article examines how the Supreme Court of Virginia’s ruling in Hampton v. Meyer blurs the dividing line between between a misnomer and a misjoinder as previously understood.

VADA members may access the Summer 2024 issue on their website or view a complimentary copy provided by VADA here.
