Going Undercover as an Attorney: Inside Operation Greylord Join us for this dynamic event, featuring Terry Hake, who as a young attorney served three and a half years in an undercover capacity in Cook County, Illinois in the early 1980s in one of the largest federal investigations of judicial and other public corruption in our nation's history. In posing as a corrupt state's attorney taking payoffs and then as a corrupt defense attorney paying bribes, Hake's undercover efforts led to federal indictments and convictions of judges, attorneys, court and law enforcement personnel. His is a remarkable story of dedication, sacrifice, and courage. Ethics CLE credit will be sought.
