Mr. Kuh has been engaged in a private litigation practice
from 1966 through 1973, and continuously since 1975. Among hotly
litigated matters in which Mr. Kuh performed critical roles
have been the first Rhode Island trial of Claus Von Bulow and
the probate proceedings in New York County concerning the billion
dollar estate of the late Doris Duke. Although for the last
several decades, civil litigation has, for the most part, occupied
Mr. Kuh, in the criminal area -- as both prosecutor and defense
lawyer -- Mr. Kuh has handled a variety of matters up to and
including homicides. Active in the American Bar Association,
Mr. Kuh has chaired its Criminal Justice Section and served
in the ABA House of Delegates. In 1994, he chaired the First
National Conference on Gun Violence and earlier had been a speaker
at a White House Conference, Conferences of State Chief Justices,
and Conferences of several of the United States Circuit Courts
of Appeals.
For five years following his admission to the bar, he was an
associate at the New York law firm of Cahill, Gordon, Zachary
& Reindel, and then for eleven years -- as a New York County
Assistant District Attorney -- served as Administrative Assistant
to District Attorney Frank S. Hogan and Chief of the Criminal
Courts Bureau. In 1974, Mr. Kuh succeeded Mr. Hogan as District
Attorney of New York County. He joined our firm in 1978.
Mr. Kuh is a magna cum laude graduate of the Harvard Law School.
He is admitted to the bars of the United States District Court
(Southern and Eastern Districts of New York), the Court of Appeals
for the Second Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. |
