The OCBA is deeply saddened by the passing of Christopher B. Mears — a past president of OC ABOTA, an outstanding trial lawyer, a fierce advocate for his clients, a word smith, a devoted husband and father, and a man of unwavering faith. Christopher led with compassion, integrity, and purpose — both in and out of the courtroom. He touched the lives of so many with his kindness, humility, and strength of character.

We invite you to watch this short video, which captures the warmth and humanity that defined Christopher. His legacy lives on in all those he inspired and uplifted.
