He Dressed Like Davy Crocket And Won Like Perry Mason

Ed. Note: Welcome to our daily feature Trivia Question of the Day!

Who is the Wyoming trial lawyer, instantly recognizable in the fringed buckskin jacket he seemingly never took off, who over the course of his six-decade legal career claimed a record few can match: he never lost a criminal case before a jury, and didn’t lose a civil case after 1969?

Hint: He won a landmark verdict for the family of a nuclear whistleblower, got Imelda Marcos acquitted in federal court, and won freedom for the survivalist at the center of the Ruby Ridge standoff.

See the answer on the next page.
