Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company
100 North Greene Street
Greensboro, North Carolina 27401
Gentlemen:
In my capacity as Attorney of Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company
("Company"), I have supervised and participated in the preparation of Rule
24f-2 Notice to be filed by the Company and Jefferson-Pilot Separate Account
A ("Account") with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act of 1933 and relating to individual variable annuity contracts participating
in the account. I am of the following opinion:
1. The Account is a separate account of the Company duly created and validly
existing under North Carolina law.
2. The individual variable annuity contracts were legally issued in
accordance with the prospectuses contained in the Registration Statement to
which the Notice relates and are legal and binding obligations of the Company
in accordance with their terms. Such contracts are fully paid and
non-assessable.
3. The assets held in the Account are not chargeable with liabilities
arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.
In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of law and
examined such other records and documents as in my judgment are necessary or
appropriate.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Notice.
Very truly yours,
/s/ J. Gregory Poole
