Connie Ray Stockham
Connie Ray Stockham is an attorney in Birmingham, Alabama, where she has practiced law for 24 years. Her legal experience covers a spectrum of suits at both the trial and appellate levels, ranging from invasion of privacy, to fraud, to product liability, wrongful death and nursing home litigation. She is a member of the American Bar Association, the ABA's sections on Tort & Insurance and Science & Technology, the Alabama State Bar Association and the Birmingham Bar Association. She practices in the state courts of Alabama, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Alabama, and the U.S. Courts of Appeal for the Eleventh and Fifth Circuits. Ms. Stockham's passion for bioethics has led to her work with the Alpha-l Foundation's ELSI Working Group, the Ethics Committee of the VA Hospital in Birmingham, the Advisory Board for the Philosophy Department at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, and, most recently, to be selected for one of UAB's two Institutional Review Boards. She is a member of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities and the American Society of Law, Medicine and Ethics. Over the past several years, she has also developed and taught special topic seminars about the interactions between law and bioethics. Her most recent course title was "From Body Snatching to Organ Donation - A Study of the Principles of Autonomy and Justice in Conflict and Balance."
