Example biography profile (placeholder, delete later) Biography

Charles L. "Chip" Babcock has a national trial and appellate practice and has handled many significant cases, including his representation of Oprah Winfrey and her company, Harpo, in litigation across the United States. He successfully defended The Chicago Tribune in the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois and defeated an effort to remove from office the presiding judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. In the summer of 2012, he successfully defended Celanese Ltd. in a multi-billion dollar fraud and breach of contract case involving a methanol supply agreement.

Mr. Charles Babcock was born in Brooklyn, New York, raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, and graduated from Brown University, where he was a four-year member of the rowing team (crew) and the sports director for the University radio station, WBRU-FM. His college broadcast partner, Eric Nadel, went on to become the play-by-play voice of the Texas Rangers. For a time after college, Mr. Babcock stayed in the sports business as a writer and columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, but he left journalism to attend Boston University School of Law, where he was a member of the law review and served as its Executive Editor. Charles was drawn to Texas by two federal judges, Robert Porter and Robert Hill, both of whom asked for an interview and decided to offer him a job. "They told me that they had flipped a coin," Mr. Babcock recalled, "but they never told me who lost."

Mr. Charles Babcock spent the next two years with Judge Porter in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas before joining Jackson Walker, where he has defended such disparate matters as an ERISA case in Rhode Island, a defamation suit against Dr. Phil in Los Angeles, a shareholder derivative action in Fort Worth, a patent case in Chicago, and an arbitration in Houston involving the sale of oil and gas properties. Charles has represented Fortune 500 clients on a regular basis, both as Plaintiffs and Defendants, and has tried over 100 cases to a jury.

In the appellate courts, Mr. Babcock argued an important case under the speech and debate clause in the Ninth Circuit. He established the First Amendment right of journalists to protect confidential sources in a Fifth Circuit case. In the First Circuit, he successfully defended an appeal for Oprah in a copyright/misappropriation case, and in the Texas Supreme Court, he argued and won an important defamation case for media defendants. He has appeared for oral argument in over 50 cases, most recently in the Dallas Court of Appeals, where the Court heard the first case on the merits of a dismissal under the new Texas Citizens Participation Act (anti-SLAPP statutes). Mr. Babcock has appeared in the United States Courts of Appeals for the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits, as well as the Texas, California, and Illinois Supreme Courts.

PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS
Mr. Charles Babcock is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, and the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). He is a member of the American Law Institute and a Fellow of the Texas Philosophical Society. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the American Bar Association Communications Forum as Membership Chair. In 2013, Mr. Babcock was accepted as a Fellow of the Center for American and International Law.

PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION
In 2010, Mr. Charles Babcock was selected as one of Texas Lawyer's "25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter-Century," an honor given to Texas attorneys who have made outstanding contributions within the 25 years that Texas Lawyer has been published. Mr. Babcock is ranked as a top First Amendment attorney, a top Commercial Litigation attorney and a top Trial Lawyer in Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business directory. Sources quoted in the guide called him a "tremendous lawyer, a crackerjack" who "fills the courtroom" with his sheer ability and intellect [From Chambers USA 2012]. Mr. Babcock is also recognized in The Best Lawyers in America in the Litigation (Bet-the-Company, Commercial, First Amendment and Intellectual Property) and First Amendment Law categories. He has been a "Super Lawyer" every year since Thomson Reuters instituted the award (2003-2012) and has also been listed by D magazine as one of the "Best Lawyers in Dallas," by H Texas magazine as one of the "Top Lawyers in Houston," and byTexas Lawyer as one of Texas' "Go To" lawyers. He is AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell and is included in the Commercial Litigation chapter of Who's Who Legal: Texas. He was named a "Best in Civil Litigation Defense" attorney by Super Lawyers: Corporate Counsel Edition.

PRESS COVERAGE
Mr. Charles Babcock has frequently been profiled by the press and in 2007 The New Republic reported that he had attained the status of a "moderately famous First Amendment attorney." (Credit: The New Republic.) In aTexas Monthly article profiling him as a "Super Lawyer," one of his clients commented, "Chip was tremendously effective, not only in court but in helping me prepare for court."

In 2009, Mr. Charles Babcock represented the Presiding Judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in trial after her removal from office was sought by the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct. The trial judge ruled in favor of the judge and a Special [Appellate] Court of Review dismissed all charges.

In 2008, Mr. Charles Babcock tried a closely watched case where Clara Harris (the woman who ran over her husband with her Mercedes) sued her former criminal defense counsel, George Parnham. After the jury found for Mr. Parnham, a blogger following the case wrote, "I believe [the jury] found Parnham's counsel, the affable Chip Babcock, appealing. Babcock was charming, smiled readily and play(ed) ably — to the jury."Texas Lawyer published a lengthy article about one of Mr. Babcock's trials (an unusual non-jury trial before a three-judge panel of justices) and wrote about his opening statement, "When Charles Babcock rose to speak, he told the court he would take more time than opposing counsel. His presentation was lengthy but effective, incorporating a PowerPoint presentation replete with timelines, discovery excerpts, and salient video clips. Babcock didn't just tell the justices what he intended to prove, he used his time and PowerPoint presentation to prove his case. At the end of the opening statement, [Justice] Fitzgerald asked Babcock if the court could have a copy of the PowerPoint presentation for its later use."

In 2007, Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business noted Mr. Babcock was a "first-rate trial lawyer who can try any commercial case." Of Counsel: The Legal Practice and Management Report wrote in its April 2006 edition that "In case after victorious case, Babcock has served clients with his vast knowledge of the law, soaring courtroom litigation style, keen insight, close attention to detail, and all with guy-next-door-humility."

JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS
Mr. Charles Babcock has frequently been called upon by state and federal judges to advise them on matters affecting the judiciary and the practice of law. For example, he has been a member of the Texas Supreme Court Advisory Committee for over 20 years, the last 13 as its Chair. The Advisory Committee studies and reports to the court on proposed rules and issues affecting litigation practice in the state courts. Some of the topics the Committee has studied are rules regulating parental notification of minors seeking an abortion, Internet access to judicial records, standards for recusal of judges, an offer of settlement rule, citation of unpublished opinions, rules for complex cases (asbestos), the dismissal rule mandated by the 2011 Legislature, and amendments to the rules of evidence and appellate procedure among many others.

Mr. Babcock was appointed by the court to chair a committee charged with rewriting the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct and chaired a separate committee which considered the effect of the United States Supreme Court decision in Republican Party of Minnesota v. White dealing with judicial speech. In 2001, he served on a Texas Supreme Court blue ribbon committee of ten lawyers who were asked to consider major proposals for tort and litigation reform. In 1991, the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas asked him to serve on a committee charged with analyzing the efficiency of the federal courts in north Texas.

PRO BONO AWARDS
In 1988, Mr. Charles Babcock received the Meritorious Pro Bono Service Award. In 1986, he received the Distinguished Pro Bono Service Award.

CATASTROPHIC LITIGATION
Mr. Charles Babcock, drawing on his lifelong work as a journalist and with the media, has advised clients on how to respond to catastrophic litigation when the external communication about the legal problem must be coordinated with, and may be as important as, the litigation strategy. He has frequently written and spoken about this issue, including in his article titled "What to do When the Media Calls."
