George Wynn Smith, Jr., an attorney who practiced in Memphis many years, died on May 5. He was 84 and living in California at the time of his death. A native of Dyersburg, Smith was raised in Tiptonville and graduated law school from Harvard University. He practiced law in Memphis for 35 years, including representing Union Planters Bank during a very turbulent time involving the dissolution of Stax Records and the bond claim cases arising out of various bank officers' criminal activity. He moved to California in 1997 and continued to practice there, becoming an early leader in the field of using computers in law practice.
