Date: Wednesday, December 3, 2014
Time: 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Place: President's Conference Room, Room 1700, East Building
Martin Garbus is one of the country's top trial lawyers, as well as an author and sought-after speaker. Time Magazine called
him "legendary" and "one of the greatest trial lawyers in the country". The Guardian declared him "one of the world’s finest
trial lawyers". An expert at every level of civil and criminal trial, as well as litigation, Garbus has appeared before the United
States Supreme Court in leading First Amendment cases, and his cases have established precedents there and in other courts
throughout the country. One case that he filed, Goldberg v. Kelly, resulted in a favorable 5-4 Supreme Court opinion, and was
described by Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan as "arguably the most important due process case of the 20th
Century".
Below is a link to a recent episode of Charlie Rose where Martin Garbus debates Floyd Abrams on First Amendment issues and
the Klinghoffer opera. Students are encouraged to watch the clip for background information before the event.
