The legal community suddenly lost one bright light—acclaimed
lobbyist Thomas (Tommy) H. Boggs, Jr.—earlier this week. Like or dislike his
politics or his clients or his law firm management skills, but appreciate his
successes. I can’t help but wish that there were more lawyers like him: rapt
storytellers, engaging, big personalities, charismatic, willing to go against
the grain, and of course smart and good at what they do. I still remember Tommy
Boggs paying a visit to my law school Legislative Advocacy class some 25 years
ago. He was the type of lawyer whose name law students knew. If you wanted to
become a lobbyist, you wanted to work for Tommy Boggs. I imagine that he
enjoyed his life and his career. Every lawyer should be so happy.
