To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
Those lyrics inspired one of Cleveland's most successful careers in litigation. Steven S. Kaufman has an amazing track record of delivering for his clients, including Hillary Clinton, the City of Cleveland, and his friend Lee Fisher. Dean Lee Fisher of the Cleveland State University College of Law was honored to interview Steve, and Dean Fisher has no shortage of accomplishments of his own! In this episode, the two old friends talk about Steve's outstanding career, and his lessons for current law students considering a career as a litigator.
