Learning To Laugh At The Law Criminal Defense Attorney To Give Unique Lecture At USC

Prominent Los Angeles based criminal defense attorney Kenny Kahn will deliver a special lecture to students attending Law School at USC in Los Angeles. The lecture takes place on Thursday October 2nd in room 1 at 12.20 PM. Kenny is speaking as a guest of the Criminal Law Society.

The lecture will be delivered by Kenny in his trademark irreverent style with topics such as:

* What they don't teach you in law school
* Using humor in your law practice
* Release tension in a trial with humor
* Improve client relations using humor
* Humor as a tool for negotiating with opposing attorneys

With a case history as colorful as his past, the USC and Boalt Hall Law School graduate has become well known for representing the famous and the infamous in a career that spans 3 decades.

Previous clients include the irascible Hustler Magazine founder Larry Flynt who had been charged with contempt for wearing an American flag as a diaper in court.

One of Kenny's high profile cases was later adapted into the feature film "The Falcon and The Snowman" starring Sean Penn. Kenny represented Andrew Dalton Lee, who along with partner Christopher Boyce was accused of spying for the USSR against the United States.

Several years ago, a mentally ill client plunged an ice pick into Kahn's chest as the two sat in a Torrance courtroom. "That was my wake up call," says Kenny, "realizing that life is short and completely unpredictable". It was soon afterwards that Kenny had a revelation, he needed to do something he had always been too afraid to try - Stand Up Comedy.

Kenny's act has headlined in Las Vegas, and he has appeared at some of the top comedy clubs on both sides of the US including The Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, The Improv in Los Angeles and Stand Up New York in NYC.

Kahn has been featured on TV shows such as the "Oprah Winfrey Show", CNN "Showbiz Today", Radio appearances have included CBS network, KABC, KMPC. He has been featured in print by Los Angeles Times, Associates Press and the Los Angeles Daily News among others.

Maintaining a successful law practice by day and performing on stage at night, Kenny has found the two vocations complement each other very well. "It gives me a fresh perspective on my profession, and as bizarre as it sounds, incorporating humor into my legal work has made me a better attorney".

Comedian Dennis Miller has called Kenny " The Worlds funniest lawyer"
"His jokes reflect reality" – Ron Tank, CNN Entertainment
Laurin Sydney, CNN Showbiz notes Kenny is "A very funny attorney"

The Humor and the Law lecture is the latest chapter in the career of this colorful attorney with a gift for making people laugh out loud at legalities.
