BU Law Central

11.06.09

Four of the finest trial lawyers in Massachusetts will re-create the closing arguments in headline grabbing cases (one of which is the “Clark Rockefeller” Case).    These are masters of the courtroom … the real deal… and they will have you spellbound.  One will be crowned the Legal Titan of the Year.  It will be a highly entertaining evening – networking cocktail reception followed by the presentations.

Legal Seafoods is catering (think Lobster on a lollypop!)   

Date: Thursday, November 12, 2009

Time: 5:30-8:30pm

Location: MCLE

10 Winter Place Boston, MA

Participants:

Michael Altman will recreate the closing in Rafus v. Stryker, the case in which an unassuming Stoneham doctor named Timothy Stryker was found responsible for the death of a doctor who had been his love interest.

Frank Corso will re-create his closing argument in the case of Ulysses Charles, a man who collected damages from the state of Massachusetts after serving 18 years of a prison term in a place he described as "hell".

Suffolk County Assistant DA David Deakin will re-create his closing in the headline-grabbing "Clark Rockefeller" case, in which the man with the secret identity was charged with kidnapping his daughter.

Ellen Zucker will reprise arguments from the Monteiro v. City of Cambridge case, in which a city employee who was a Cape Verdean immigrant claimed that her superiors discriminated against her after stripping her of some of her duties and firing her in 2003.
