From the Armchair to the Lectern

After a brief hiatus, I’m back with Episode 6 of The Pivot. This week, I delve into the dynamic world of law and the evolving landscape of legal representation. Drawing from my 20 years of experience as a criminal lawyer, I offer insights into recent high-profile cases and the art of legal advocacy. In This Episode: • Jay-Z’s Legal Defense: My thoughts on the 21-minute presentation by Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro before any charges have been filed. • The Gisèle Pelicot Case: We examine the harrowing case of Gisèle Pelicot, whose ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for orchestrating her assault by multiple men over nearly a decade. • Mentoring Young Lawyers: I share the guidance I provide to emerging “baby lawyers.” Join me as we explore these cases and the lessons they impart about the legal system, advocacy, and the pursuit of justice.
