Geragos Speaks to DLA in L.A.

Noted defense counsel Mark Geragos spoke to an informal gathering of Dartmouth lawyers on October 12th. Geragos, best known for his representations of Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson, addressed the challenges of dealing with the media in high-profile cases, plus such other unique aspects of trial practice as "stealth jurors" - jurors who lie in order to participate in cases where they have determined to convict or acquit a defendant.

The late afternoon program was held in the downtown Los Angeles offices of McKenna, Long & Aldridge, where DLA member John Liebman, '56 practices. Geragos' appearance was organized by DLA member Shep Kopp, '86, who is a partner in the Geragos law firm in Los Angeles.
