Plaintiff in Caperton Vs. Massey Speaks at
2014 Judicial Excellence Dinner
UNTIL ALMOST TWO decades ago, Hugh Caperton owned a small coal company in West Virginia. Today, he finds his name in legal textbooks.
When listening to his story, the realization is imminent that his legal battle represents the darker side of democracy’s interplay
with justice.
After describing his judicial saga in detail for a group of jurists and attorneys at the Colorado Judicial Institute’s annual awards dinner on Nov. 12 at the Downtown Marriott City Center in Denver, he joked that his story may sound like the plot of a John Grisham novel, referencing similarities in his experience with “The Appeal.”
