  • Speaker Biographies Bench Bar Program Judge Ken Starr Is Best
    Speaker Biographies Bench Bar Program Judge Ken Starr Is best known as the independent counsel who headed the investigation that led to the impeachment of U.S. President Bill Clinton. In 1994 Starr was named the independent counsel to lead the investigation into the so-called Whitewater affair, which involved a land deal in Arkansas during the time Clinton was that state’s governor. As a result of the investigation, 11 people—including Clinton associates James and Susan McDougal — were convicted of crimes. He subsequently was directed to investigate what came to be known as Travelgate, involving the firing of longtime White House workers, and Filegate, pertaining to FBI files on Republicans that were found in the White House. In 1998, however, allegations of an affair between Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky became the focus of Starr’s attention. Based on Starr’s findings, the House of Representatives voted to impeach the president in December 1998. The Senate acquitted Clinton the following year. Chief Justice Jeff Bivins Took office as a member of the Tennessee Supreme Court in 2014. He was appointed to this position by Gov. Bill Haslam. He was elected to the remainder of the full term in August 2016. Effective Sept. 1, 2016, his colleagues elected him to the position of Chief Justice. Prior to his appointment to the Tennessee Supreme Court, Justice Bivins was a judge on the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals. He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Law. He received a bachelor’s degree, magna cum laude from East Tennessee State University, with a major in political science and a minor in criminal justice.

  • Brett Kavanaugh Nominee for the U.S
    Brett Kavanaugh Nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Brief Biography • Age 39. Born February 12, 1965. • B.A. cum laude, Yale 1987. • J.D., Yale 1990. • Law Clerk for: o Walter Stapelton, Third Circuit, 1990-91. o Alex Kozinski, Ninth Circuit, 1991-92. o Anthony Kennedy, U.S. Supreme Court, 1993-94. • Attorney in the Office of U.S. Solicitor General Kenneth Starr, 1992-93. • Associate Counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, 1994-97, 1998. • Partner at Kirkland & Ellis, Washington, D.C., 1997-98 & 1999-2001. • Associate White House Counsel 2001-03. • Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary 2003-present. President Bush’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit exemplifies the White House’s reliance on ideology over merit in selecting judicial nominees. Kavanaugh appears to have been chosen for a D.C. Circuit seat only because of his involvement in some of the most ideologically charged issues of his time. As an associate counsel in the office of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, Kavanaugh, among other responsibilities: (1) pursued unfounded allegations that Clinton White House deputy counsel Vince Foster was murdered rather than committing suicide, (2) worked on the Monica Lewinsky investigation, and (3) drafted the grounds for impeachment section of the Starr Report Congress. Kavanaugh’s views of executive privilege reveal his excessive partisanship. In the Independent Counsel’s office, Kavanaugh was responsible for challenging the Clinton Administration’s claims of privilege, testing the boundaries of executive and other privileges in order to gain more information for the Starr investigation.

And as I promised on Facebook, we will almost certainly also talk about the Kavanaugh nomination. It’s not a joke. (Laughs.) So, my name is John Yoo. I’m a visiting scholar here and professor at Berkeley and also a fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford. And Judge Starr originally was going to give a lecture, but he actually would like to actually sit and have a conversation with the panelists, so we’re going to dispense with any kind of formal remarks. He’s going to make a — I think a short statement summarizing his book and some of the points, and then we’re going to turn right to an open discussion with the other panelists. So let me just quickly introduce them. You have their full biographies. But, as you all know, Judge Starr has been many, many things: a judge on the DC circuit, solicitor general, law school dean — it’s all been downhill after being law school dean — university president, and an independent counsel in the Clinton Whitewater investigation.

I write about criminal law and race and I do a fair amount of legal commentary on the subject as well. In the last year I have written and commented for the popular press on the investigation, impeachment and trial of President Clinton.' I originally believed that the journalists who called me to talk about race and crime and then Clinton and Starr saw my expertise in these two areas as a happy coincidence, which was the way that I viewed it. Before I joined the academy, I worked in the Department of Justice as a prosecutor of corrupt government offi- cials.
