Matt Fridy

@willgilmer40 Always good to see you!

Home from Montgomery. Enjoyed visiting with several folks in state politics I’ve gotten to know, including Judge @MattFridy and our soon-to-be state senator Matt Woods. Always glad for the opportunity to build relationships that can benefit my industry and community.

The fact that the Word dwelt among us gives us hope -- a hope that lights our path and assures us that, although we may not understand every aspect of the journey, we joyfully know the destination. May the Word bring you hope during this and every season. Merry Christmas!

Amazing evening attending the Antonin Scalia Memorial Dinner at the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention! It was great to watch keynote speakers Justice Neal Gorsuch and former Justice Stephen Breyer engage as friends on big issues.

@willgilmer40 I thought the same thing!

Not gonna lie, I start getting a strong craving for KFC every time they cut to Dara Perino.

@andersonforAL Congratulations, my friend!

I’m tremendously grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of Alabama. I started this race because I believe that Alabama crime victims deserve to be remembered by Alabama’s judges. Two years later, I’m finishing it with the opportunity to make that belief a reality. Thank you, Alabama!

Enjoyed meeting Coach Joe Kennedy, who won his free exercise/free speech case in the U.S. Supreme Court in the landmark decision of Kennedy v. Bremerton School District in 2022.

Enjoyed participating in an engaging panel discussion on persuasion and professionalism in appellate litigation with colleagues at the Alabama State Bar Annual Meeting today.

@MarkRHall Brother, I'm so sorry.

This has been a hard day for me & my son as we had to say goodbye to our beloved companion and partner LilEddie, “the KingRat,” terrier we loved so much. He gave us 15 years of unconditional love & companionship. We took one last picture together just before we said farewell.

@MarkRHall One of the best! Love the homemade white bread.

Lunch break was a W. #ScottStreetDeli

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 Merry Christmas!

@RaymondLBellJr Congratulations!

I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as President of the Mobile Bar Association for 2024. I look forward to serving our profession and our community.

Wise words from one of my favorite podcaster lawyers, @whignewtons, for anyone testifying before a House committee: "'It depends on the context,' is a really bad answer when the question had the word 'genocide' in it."

Bidding farewell today to my clerk Drew Baldwin, who is becoming a staff attorney for Justice Greg Shaw, and my intern Taylor Neill, who is beginning her third year at Cumberland, after which she will begin a federal clerkship. Excited for what the future holds for these ladies!

Excited to join my alma mater, the University of @Montevallo, as a member of the Board of Trustees! Thank you, @GovernorKayIvey, for such an amazing honor and opportunity.

@MarkRHall So much fun, but the passing and kicking were impossible.

Long before Madden we had Electric Football! Who else remembers this one?! 🙌🏻 #NFL Electric Football

Thanks for the invitation, @MIDALGOP! Enjoyed being with everyone this morning.

Enjoyed participating in a panel discussion today at the Jones Law School Chapter of the Federalist Society with Judges Chris McCool and Richard Minor. Thanks to Professor Andy Olree for moderating the panel, and to our friend Janey Whitney for the invitation.

So great to see my brother and fellow UM grad Judge @MattFridy at the Cumberland Law Birmingham alumni event tonight!

@NorthATLsFinest Wonderful! Congratulations!

*non-political life update* For nearly four years, my wife and I have been on a foster/adoption journey. For over two years, we’ve been providing a home for three of the most loving, coolest little kids imaginable. But now? As of 11:30am today, I’m not a Foster dad. I’m just Dad.

Congratulations to my friend Megan Rhodebeck on her appointment to serve as Clerk of the Supreme Court of Alabama! She will do an excellent job leading that office, and the appellate courts are lucky to have her in this new role. al.com/news/2022/07/a…
