From Wikipedia: "Robert S. Bennett (born 1939) is an American attorney and partner at Hogan Lovells, best known for representing President Bill Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal. Bennett is also famous for representing Judith Miller in the Valerie Plame CIA leak grand jury investigation case, Caspar Weinberger, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, during the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s, Clark Clifford in the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) scandal, and Paul Wolfowitz in the World Bank Scandal. He received his LL. M from Harvard Law School in 1965. After graduating from law school, Bennett served as assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Bennett served as a member of the National Review Board for the Protection of Children & Young People, created by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, from 2002 to 2004. He authored The Ring: The Trials of a Washington Lawyer." "The best legal read...in decades. A brilliantly entertaining work, both for the lawyer and the layman."-Washington Times Robert S. Bennett has been a lawyer for more than forty years. In that time, he's taken on dozens of high-pro le and groundbreaking cases and emerged as the go-to guy for the nation's elite. Bob Bennett gained international recognition as one of America's best lawyers for leading the defense of President Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones case. He has always fought for justice. This is his story. Born in Brooklyn and an amateur boxer in his youth, Bennett has often brought his street fighter's mentality to the courtroom. His case history is a who's who of figures who have dominated legal headlines: superlobbyist Tommy Corcoran, former secretaries of defense Clark Clifford and Caspar Weinberger, Marge Schott, and, most recently, New York Times reporter Judith Miller and former World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz. Throughout the telling of his life in court, Bennett offers refreshing and straightforward advice. He explains to readers how he prepares for trial, handles witnesses in the courtroom, crafts his opening and closing arguments, and provides other terrific tips and object lessons for success in law and life. This memoir is both a great read for lawyers, law students, and political readers who want a look inside the Beltway power game, and an intimate and compelling story of one lawyer's attempt to fight hard and fair.
