Eric Turner is special counsel with Foulston’s litigation and employment practice group in the firm’s Kansas City office. At Foulston, Eric’s practice focuses primarily in three areas: governmental liability, employment litigation defense and employer advising, and commercial litigation and disputes. In early 2019, Eric was an active member of the Foulston trial team in a federal jury trial, in which the jury awarded Foulston’s client a $12.6 million verdict. Eric played a key role in two trials in defense of governmental entities and twice has argued before the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Eric is a frequent author and contributor to publications, including seven years as co-author of the civil procedure chapter in the Kansas Bar Association’s Annual Survey of the Law. As the chair of the Kansas Association of Defense Counsel amicus committee, Eric also writes for the KADC’s Kansas Defense Journal. Eric has also presented on employment issues and mentored law students through Washburn Law School and the Federal Bar Association.
Before joining Foulston, Eric spent 16 years as a journalist for Kansas newspapers – a career that built and honed the research skills, accuracy, speed, and writing abilities that now serve him and his clients so well as an attorney. A career path tailor-made for litigation took Eric from Washburn Law School, where he tied for first in his class and was Editor-in-Chief of the Washburn Law Journal. Eric then clerked for judges for five years, including time with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas, and the Kansas Court of Appeals. His experience behind the scenes gave him an inside view of how various judges evaluate information, make decisions, and run a courtroom. In his clerkships, his experience included cases related to age discrimination, contract disputes, tax evasion, criminal matters, the interplay between federal and state law, and Social Security disability appeals.
