Description
Rikki Klieman is currently the Legal Analyst for CBS News, after serving as a television anchor, notably covering the OJ Simpson trial. She specialized in criminal law, appellate practice, civil litigation, and is a best-selling author and film actress. Klieman has earned a sterling reputation as one of the most celebrated lawyers and legal authorities in the nation and named one of the top female trial attorneys in the nation by Time Magazine. The legal system in America today is under fire from all directions. What are the legal lessons to be learned from the Simpson and Trump trials? Are there two tiers of justice? How  does defense counsel control a difficult high-profile defendant, sentencing considerations, gag orders, assorted other pre-trial, trial and post-trial matters? How are high-profile trials reported and consumed by the public? Are we getting fair and impartial reporting? Rikki Klieman is well-equipped to share her experience, fascinating insights and ideas on these and other legal challenges during this unique and troubling time in our country’s history.
