For the Defense with David Oscar Markus
David Oscar Markus, a Miami trial attorney, has been called “a reincarnation of the old school criminal defense lawyer” and has represented clients from the head of the Cali Cartel to Fortune 500 companies and their CEOs. David has partnered with rakontur, the lauded storytellers behind Cocaine Cowboys, The U and 537 Votes, on the podcast, For the Defense. The podcast focuses on the work of the least-respected but perhaps the most important profession in America: the criminal defense attorney. In each episode, Markus will interview a top criminal defense lawyer about one of their most gripping trials. Sadly, the criminal defense trial lawyer is a dying breed. The Feds have manipulated the system -- which was founded on the idea of trial by jury -- to force almost everyone (occasionally including the innocent) into pleading guilty to avoid trial. If you dare to go to trial, you risk going to prison for decades longer than had you surrendered and pleaded guilty. The system has shifted from valuing and encouraging trials to punishing those who dare exercise their constitutional right to have a jury decide their guilt. In the 1980s, over 20% of cases went to trial -- now less than 3% do so. Having tried cases all over the United States, Markus is well-positioned to speak to other leading criminal defense lawyers in the country and explore with them the decision they made in a high-profile case to proceed to trial, including their trial strategy, the risks involved, and the clients themselves. The podcast is currently in Season 6. It has broken news, achieved industry-wide accolades, and is the go to listen for trial lawyers around the country.

New Lawyer Goal: SCOTUS argument and a case worthy of ‘For the Defense’
3 thg 6
I believe that many lawyers dream of the case they might argue before SCOTUS. A close second is to have a case that David Oscar Markus calls you to ask to discuss on his podcast. I am updating my review from 5 seasons ago and after listening to the first episode of Season 6 on the Trump conviction. I cannot emphasize enough at how valuable this podcast is for a lawyer - whether a “baby lawyer” or as a salty, ol’ dog still willing to learn a new trick like myself. I have found myself going back and listening to the prior seasons and still find a new nugget of wisdom from the guests (and the host DOM as well) that I missed the first time. My original review after listening to Season One: Easily my number one podcast to listen. The interviews here are an amazing mixture of legal history, trial strategy, and legal genius. I wish someone had started doing this 20 years ago to capture the wisdom of the greats that we have already lost. What David Oscar Markus had done here is a service to every lawyer and legal historian. There is some pure gold in every episode.
Obsessed!

As a non-Attorney, I find myself listening with rapt attention to each and every one of these episodes. I am fascinated by the law and come from a family of lawyers and judges. I enjoy listening to the various guests, and always find that I come away gleaning some great new information about the law process in America. Thank you David and keep the great work coming.
Great Inspiration for Defnders
