Bar association split over award for Clark and Darden
In Los Angeles the Los Angeles County Bar Association faces a split over naming Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden 1995 Trial Lawyers of the Year. President Laurie Zelon says the choice could undermine public confidence in the O J Simpson jury acquittals. Trustees rejected a panel’s recommendation, triggering resignations and criticism from Deputy District Attorney leaders. Zelon expects new names to be proposed and the bar to move on.
