Hi Professor,

I wanted to reach out to you about the possibility of me meeting with Peter Kadzik to discuss my paper. Is there a way I can reach out to him or would you mind putting me in touch? I'd greatly appreciate the smallest amount of time he may have to discuss the role of private counsel in congressional investigations, and I would love to meet a Georgetown and Dickstein alum.

The description of my paper is included below. I'm looking forward to our next class, pending any surprise winter storms!

Best,

Phil Beshara

I've chosen "Roles & Challenges of Private Counsel in Congressional Investigations: Navigating Waters, Assessing Risks, and Prepping Witnesses" as a topic.

I chose this because I've always been intrigued by the regionally unique congressional investigations bar we have in DC. With most prominent DC law firms showcasing congressional investigations practice groups on their websites, I'd like to write about this niche practice and assess the challenges facing counsel in this realm. I'm particularly interested in learning what role lawyers play in congressional investigations and how their representation may differ from more traditional court room settings.

Some early questions I plan to pursue:

What is considered a victory for the client?
How do the ethical rules apply during investigations as compared to more traditional legal cases?
What role does counsel assume? Advocate? Advisor? Coach?
How does witness preparation for a hearing compare to client preparation for trial testimony, or depositions?
What interplay or conflicts may exist with a law firm's lobbying activities?
How does a lawyer wear the hat of public relations manager when dealing with client media exposure?

I plan to research past investigations and also hope to interview attorneys in this area to get a better understanding of what challenges they see facing this practice of law.

Professor,

I just wanted to thank you for connecting me with Peter Kadzik, we had a very productive conversation this week that led to some great insights for my paper.

Have a great weekend.
