Ron Kuby's Bio: While working on his degree, Kuby interned with William Kunstler, a famed radical attorney known for his successful defense of the Chicago Seven. Kuby earned his Juris Doctor from Cornell Law School in 1983.
From 1983 until Kunstler's death in 1995, the two wo rked together on a number of highly controversial, well-publicized civil rights and criminal cases. They represented Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman (head of the Egyptian-based militant group Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya), Colin Ferguson (the man responsible for the LIRR s hootings, who would later choose to represent himself at trial), Qubilah Shabazz (daughter of Malcolm X, accused of plotting to murder Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam), Glenn Harris (a New York public school teacher who absconded with a fifteen year-old girl for two months), Darrell Cabey (one of the victims of the Bernard Goetz shooting), Yu Kikumura, and perhaps most controversially, associates of the Gambino Crime Family. During the Gulf War, they represented dozens of American soldiers who refused to fig ht claiming "conscientious objector" status. They also represented El Sayyid Nosair, assassin of the late extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane.
Although they worked together, Mr. Kunstler had never formalized a partnership with a contract or tax filings. Desp ite a letterhead that read "Kunstler and Kuby", Mr. Kuby was paid as an employee and had never shared in the firm's meager profits and losses. On this basis Kuby was denied ownership rights to the firm's case files, accounts, and name. When Kunstler' s widow, a radical lawyer in her own right, put her late husband's (deceased, September 4, 1995) archives under lock and key, Kuby had filed a complaint against her with the attorney disciplinary committee. The committee dismissed the complaint in August of 19 96. In December 1996 a court case brought by the widow, Margaret Ratner, resulted in Kuby being denied any partnership rights in the Kunstler firm. … Read more
