***************

Harvey A. Silverglate, a partner in the Boston law firm of Silverglate & Good, has specialized in grand jury investigations and the defense of criminal prosecutions for some 25 years, with emphasis on white collar cases in recent years. He writes a criminal justice and civil liberties column (“Freedom Watch”) for The Boston Phoenix, a Boston weekly, as well as The National Law Journal and has written regular articles for Criminal Law Advocacy Reporter (Matthew Bender & Co.). He has an interest in the clash between effective criminal defense strategies and the limitations imposed by recent innovations in the law governing obstruction of justice, interference with witnesses, legal ethics, and other doctrines purporting to limit what a lawyer may and may not do for and with a client, which was the subject of a course he taught at the Harvard Law School during a Sabbatical in the spring of 1987. Mr. Silverglate is also the co-author, along with Alan Charles Kors, of The Shadow University: The Betrayal of Liberty on America’s Campuses (Free Press, October 1998). In 1998 Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly named Harvey Silverglate one of its “Lawyers of the Year.”
