Check this out: our friend and colleague, eminent domain lawyer Stephen J. Clarke is the new Jeopardy! champion.

And it wasn’t just a plain-old win for Steve. It was an exciting, come-from-behind triumph, based (no doubt) on his careful, strategic thinking and thoughtful play (this is chess, not checkers!). Just like his eminent domain cases!

But as many of you know, this wasn’t Mr. Clarke’s first rodeo. Recall that he served as a contestant at our Ethics Jeopardy! at the 2021 ALI-CLE Eminent Domain and Land Valuation Litigation Conference. So yes, in addition to valuable CLE credits, the Conference is great training for your game show appearances!
