1Opinion of the CourtGlickman, Associate J.
This is an interlocutory appeal from the denial of a motion to dismiss a complaint for legal malpractice on grounds of forum non conveniens. See D.C.Code § 13-425 (2001). In Frost v. Peoples Drug Store, 327 A.2d 810, 812-13 (D.C.1974), this court held such denials immediately appealable as a matter of right under the collateral order doctrine that the Supreme Court enunciated in Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 546, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The full court reaffirmed that holding in 1985 by a five to four margin in Jenkins v. Smith, 499 A.2d 128 (D.C.1985)…
