We all know the result of the first Dewey trial - a hung jury.
But what happens next? Go inside the machinations of Manhattan D.A.
Virus Chance's second effort against the lead Dewey defendants -
Steve 1, Steve 2, and Bernie Sanders (no relation). Watch as junior
ADAs and associates alike struggle with ethical quandaries in
prosecuting and defending the retrial of the century! There will be
laughter. There will be music. There will be 1.5 Ethics credits! On
Wednesday, June 8, 2016, come on down to Debevoise & Plimpton,
919 Third Avenue, NY, NY for an hour and a half show packed with
fun and excitement! Please join us for a 5:30 pm cocktail hour, and
don't miss the 6:30 pm curtain! Did I mention you get ethics
credits? See you there!
