War Stories is our popular series in which we interview a leading trial lawyer about one of their most significant cases, providing unique insights into trial strategy, and an archive that will benefit future students of the law.
Our January 12th program features a true master of the courtroom. John H. Sharer joined Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in 1961 and worked at the firm for his entire career. He has tried well over 50 cases in California and across the country during that time, mostly in lawsuits of considerable complexity, including one which lasted 10 months. He has received many accolades.
The trial he has chosen to talk about is Don King Productions v. James “Buster” Douglas et al, a 1990 dispute over a world heavyweight boxing title match in which he represented the Mirage and the Golden Nugget. A key witness was Donald J. Trump. John cross examined Trump at length and will be talking about his cross examination and other aspects of this fascinating trial. This will be a true master class about how to try a high-profile case.
John will be interviewed by Alexander Rufus-Isaacs of Rufus-Isaacs, Acland & Grantham LLP
