Summary
Fordham law professor Bruce A. Green writes to Judge Richard M. Berman to correct a misunderstanding from an August 27, 2019, hearing in the case *United States v. Epstein*. Green clarifies that, contrary to the court's apparent understanding, he has never served as counsel for Epstein or his estate. He explains that his only involvement in a related matter was serving as an expert witness for Professor Dershowitz in a separate defamation case, a role that concluded in June 2019 and did not involve representation or advocacy.

"On a somewhat more serious note, don't quote me on this, but it is my understanding that one of the authors of that article is himself counsel in one of the Epstein-related cases. I was surprised to learn that very recently. I'm certain it is true. I was also surprised that that aspect was not disclosed in the Law Journal."Source
