Ronald Kubi

The last fieldwork that we went on was a trip to the law offices of Ronald Kuby. His daughter went to LREI when she was younger. Ronald Kuby is a criminal defence and civil rights lawyer. He is also a talk show host for WABC. Some of the people he represented were Malcom X’s daughter and the suspects from the centeral park joggers case. His law office is in a manhattan apartment building that doubles as his living quarters. Here he taught us about what it was like to represent people who had been abused by the police. We learned a lot about his work and what it was like from a lawyer who represents those racially profiled view point. This was a very helpful fieldwork.
