Mark J. Biros Mark Biros ’70 began his legal career as an Assistant Counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, colloquially called the “Watergate Committee” that investigated President Nixon. When the Committee’s work was done, Mark moved to Philadelphia where he prosecuted police and political corruption on behalf of the Commonwealth. Ultimately, he returned to Washington, D.C. where for eleven years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney he tried cases ranging from common street crime to first degree murder, supervised a cadre of trial attorneys and oversaw an undercover operation investigating illegal international trafficking in arms and national security restricted technology. For the last twenty-five years he has practiced law at Proskauer defending organizations targeted by whistleblowers, occasionally whistleblowers themselves, and persons and organizations subject to myriad allegations of criminal conduct. Throughout his career, he has been called upon to assess critically the validity and impact of accusations made either by or against his clients. He is currently the co-Chair of the Criminal Law Committee of the International Bar Association. Apropos today’s topic, last year he chaired a panel entitled “The International Whistleblower – hero or villain?” at the IBA conference in Istanbul. Attorneys representing Julian Assange and those representing others involved in the WikiLeaks matter and Snowden investigations were on the panel. Since 1982, he has been an Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center teaching Advanced Criminal Procedure.
