t This Article is dedicated to the memory of Timothy Coleman (1964-2015), an
extraordinary lawyer and leader, a model of civility and professionalism, a devoted husband and
father, and a greatly admired friend and mentor of so many in the bar. His tragic loss demands
our self-reflection, and his memory, as his life, serves as an inspiration.
