Early life and education

Stephen Babcock was born in West Monroe, Louisiana. He attended Cedar Creek School in Ruston, Louisiana from kindergarten to seventh grade when family financial issues necessitated his transfer to the public Ruston Jr. High and eventually Ruston High School, where he graduated in 1991. Babcock attended Louisiana Tech University where he earned a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in marketing, and a Juris Doctor (JD) from LSU Law School.[1] He was initiated into Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at Texas A&M University.[2]

Early career

Babcock's first job as a lawyer was as an in-house trial attorney for Allstate after he passed the Louisiana bar exam in 2000.[3] One year later, he entered private practice as an associate attorney with McKay Williamson Lutgring & Cochran and soon thereafter opened his own firm, Babcock Law Firm, LLC in March 2003. Babcock Law Firm was re-branded as Babcock Partners in July 2010.

Babcock has represented a wide variety of clients including injured individuals, small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, Louisiana State University, foreign countries, and the State of Louisiana in civil cases in involving serious personal injuries, contract disputes, insurance coverage disputes, class actions, and shareholder disputes, among others.[4]

In July, 2013, over 200 news sources, including the Associated Press, confirmed that Stephen Babcock was hired by Ducks Unlimited to represent the organization in a high-profile million dollar federal lawsuit stemming from a contract dispute over a New Orleans artist's prints.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Babcock filed four Motions for summary judgment in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana on behalf of Ducks Unlimited. Three of the four motions were granted. The case resulted in a voluntary dismissal.

In court documents requesting the postponement, Babcock famously referred to Ohio State as "Slowhio". He stated that "All counsel to this matter unequivocally agree that the presence of LSU in the aforementioned contest of pigskin skill unquestionably constitutes good grounds" and went on to say that "In fact we have been unable through much imagination and hypothetical scenarios to think of a better reason." The judge agreed and granted the postponement.[12]
