A sourced journal
Lucian Lincoln “Lin” Wood Jr. practiced in Atlanta for most of a career that ran from a 1977 Georgia bar admission to a July 2023 transfer to retired status. This site is a biographical journal: the defamation years, the clients the public record names, the 2020 election cases he filed and lost, and the license retirement that closed the practice. Facts are cited to court dockets, his own quoted words, and reputable reporting. Opinion is labeled. It is not a court and not a machine-target file.
Subject locked to the Georgia attorney Lucian Lincoln Wood Jr. (also L. Lin Wood). Other Woods are not this person. About is the life page. Chapters take up Jewell, Sandmann, Rittenhouse, the 2020 stand, the retirement, and what the record shows he stood up for.

Life
Mercer undergraduate and law degrees. Medical-malpractice years. Then Jewell, the Ramseys, Sandmann, a 2020 election docket, and a July 2023 retired status on the Georgia bar roll. That is the public arc.
Client
The Olympic Park security guard. Settlements with CNN, NBC, and an employer. A long Atlanta Journal-Constitution case the Georgia courts did not give him.
Client
Lead counsel, with Todd McMurtry, in defamation suits. CNN settled in January 2020. The Washington Post settled in July 2020. The client later ended the relationship.
Client
Initial defense team and a Texas nonprofit that posted bail. Wood left the case in December 2020. Later public dispute over funds is part of the record.
2020
Wood v. Raffensperger twice in the Northern District of Georgia. Denied, then affirmed. A Michigan caption that later drew sanctions. Courts, not slogans.
Record
July 4 request. July 5 retired on the Georgia roll. Two pending disciplinary cases dismissed. He said he had planned to retire since late 2019.
Stand
Reputation cases, then Trump’s 2020 challenges. He denied “flipping” when Fulton County listed him as a witness. Opinion stays labeled.
