Lecture Description
Geoffrey Mearns became the fifth president of NKU in August 2012. His path was anything but typical of a career in academic administration. Mearns began his professional life as a federal prosecutor, convicting New York mobsters and their henchmen. Later, he was a member of the team that successfully prosecuted Terry Nichols for his role in the worst act of domestic terrorism in American history the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Mearns will discuss the OKC bombing prosecution and its historic and symbolic significance.
In collaboration with Salmon P. Chase College of Law's Center for Excellence in Advocacy, we are excited to be able to offer one credit of continuing legal education. You will be contacted by a Chase representative once you order your ticket. Be sure to purchase the CLE ticket option.
