Another Raulston Schoolfield Prophecy

In 1974 Raulston Schoolfield was campaigning to be elected as a non-lawyer judge in the race to be selected as one of the three General Sessions judges in Hamilton County.  After one of his speeches before Chattanooga’s largest and most successful labor union, IBEW 175, he remarked to one of the now retired members that “someday you will see Chattanooga lose all of its manufacturing base and it will be a tourist town.”

            This statement adds to his 1978 prediction that lawyers would soon be peddling their alleged talents on radio, television, billboards, etc. following the release of the Bates decision in 1977-1978 by the United States Supreme Court.

            Whether you liked the late judge or not, he certainly was accurate on some of his predictions.

I encourage you to buy local products and hire local, reputable attorneys!
