Stephen Blackburn remembers the precise moment he decided to study law. In his home state of Florida, he attended a county commission meeting to speak out against a company planning to build a cement plant that would spew dioxin and other pollutants into the air. The company threatened to sue the county if it placed a citizens’ initiative on the ballot to raise air quality standards in the area. Awaiting his turn at the podium, Blackburn decided he would fight such corporate intimidation tactics by becoming a lawyer.
Blackburn previously worked for Baron and Budd’s environmental litigation group, where he represented communities and individuals facing environmental contamination caused by pollutants such as MTBE as well as with the firm’s appellate section. Now, Blackburn returns to Baron and Budd to continue fighting corporate injustice as an attorney with the firm’s pharmaceutical litigation group where he represents women who have experienced the devastating effects of transvaginal mesh implants.
In the beginning of Blackburn’s career, he honed his legal theory skills as an intern with the American Civil Liberties Union, where he worked on an amicus brief for the case of Chavez v. Martinez, 538 U.S. 760 (2003). The arguments set forth in the amicus brief helped form the basis for Justice Souter’s important Part II opinion for the Court.
