David Boies (born March 11, 1941) is an American lawyer and chairman of the law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner. Boies rose to national prominence for three major cases: leading the U.S. federal government's successful prosecution of Microsoft in United States v. Microsoft Corp., his unsuccessful representation of Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore in Bush v. Gore, and for successful representation of the plaintiff in Hollingsworth v. Perry, which invalidated California Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage. Boies has defended numerous other high-profile clients in the United States, including Theranos, tobacco companies, and Harvey Weinstein.

"Boies rose to national prominence for three major cases: leading the U.S. federal government's successful prosecution of Microsoft in United States v. Microsoft Corp., his unsuccessful representation of Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore in Bush v. Gore, and for successful representation of the plaintiff in Hollingsworth v.

Curious how both this excerpt from the article and Boies' wikipedia page completely omit his role in defending Clinton during Bubba's impeachment trial.

David Boise’ father was my High School Economics teacher. He was the ultimate nerd who wore the same crumpled brown suit everyday. But he was absolutely brilliant. A great teacher if you could get past the dry spittle at the edges of his mouth.
