Michael Kennedy (1937-2016) was a criminal defense and civil rights lawyer known for defending radical political figures, drug smugglers, members of organized crime, and other people shunned by more mainstream legal counsel. An expert in First and Fourth Amendment law, his many notable clients included Huey Newton, Timothy Leary, Irish Republican Army and Weather Underground members, High Times magazine, the journalist Leslie Cockburn, and Mafia boss John Gotti. Kennedy's papers, dating from 1967 to 2014, document his legal career, mainly through case files, but also through writings, speeches, clippings, and biographical information. less
