Charges were levied against eight defendants, who were individuals that represented leaders in a variety of movements and groups during this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Essay examines the opening stages of the trial from the lens of a then relatively new criminal defense attorney, Gerald Lefcourt. It looks at his experiences before Judge Julius Hoffman and highlights how strong, steadfast criminal defense attorneys can make a difference in protecting key constitutional rights and values. Although judicial independence is crucial to a system premised on due process, it is also important that lawyers and law professors stand up to misconduct and improprieties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Professor Podgor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/faculty\/podgor-ellen-s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Ellen S.
