(At the instructor’s request, we have changed the topic of this class. We will be offering “Criminal Law Basics” during the upcoming winter term.)
Join John McCarthy, Montgomery County’s longest-serving State’s Attorney, and renowned defense attorney Barry Helfand for an insightful discussion on their combined 90+ years of experience in criminal law. Helfand, recognized as one of Washington’s Best Legal Minds by The Washingtonian Magazine, has built a distinguished career representing both the famous and infamous. Despite facing each other in court numerous times, McCarthy and Helfand share a deep mutual respect and friendship. Their conversation offers a unique look into the evolution of criminal law in Montgomery County through the lens of two pivotal cases.
