C. Bruce Littlejohn Part 6: Time on the Bench

In this episode, Chief Justice Littlejohn shares experiences from
his time on the bench as a circuit judge.  He also discusses
the changes in the practice of law, including the establishment
of the SC rules of civil procedure and discovery practice. 
Notably, he credits his decision to allow an opening statement in
a 1956 case for the change in trial practice, which was quickly
adopted by circuit judge Bubba Ness—and the rest is
history!
