The President's Lawyer - Lawrence Robbins

Robbins, Lawrence: - Lawrence S. Robbins was an acclaimed trial and appellate litigator who argued twenty cases in the United States Supreme Court and more than sixty others in the federal circuit courts of appeals. He served as counsel to Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, and the Biden campaign, among others. Robbins was a graduate of Yale and Harvard Law School. Early in his legal career, he became an Assistant US Attorney, a great place to learn to be a trial lawyer, which, throughout Robbins's life, was his favorite part of law practice. He founded the litigation firm Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck & Untereiner and was a partner at Friedman Kaplan. Robbins wrote his first novel The President's Lawyer during the COVID-19 pandemic and lived to see it published shortly before his death in November 2024.
