Daniel Kornstein is a practicing lawyer at Kornstein Veisz Wexler & Pollard, LLP, a Manhattan law firm that he co-founded 25 years ago. A graduate of Yale Law School, he has had an exciting and varied litigation practice, including mostly civil but also some criminal matters as well. Dan's clients have ranged from the entertainment, publishing and sports world (including numerous well-known actors, producers, writers, editors and photographers), to large corporations, financial institutions and individuals, including former heads of state. He has been involved in some of the most notable free speech cases of our times, as well as substantial antitrust, securities, employment, product, liability, family law and international matters. For more than 12 years, he has been listed in the Best Lawyers in America in the Commercial Litigation (general) category. Dan has conducted approximately 100 trials and argued over 60 appeals.
Dan has combined a busy law practice with writing about the law. The most recent of his three published non-fiction books is Kill All the Lawyers?, which explores Shakespeare and the law. His second book, Thinking Under Fire, profiled ten great courtroom lawyers and their impact on American history. Dan's first book was a collection of essays called The Music of the Laws. He has also published numerous articles in professional journals as well as in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and Baltimore Sun. His writing has been cited by a number of courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
Since 1999 he has chaired the Law and Literature Committee of the New York County Lawyers' Association. From 1991 to 1998, Dan was president of the Law and Humanities Institute in New York. In 2001, Dan was awarded the Prix du Palais Littéraire for his writing about Balzac and the Law. He has twice addressed meetings of the Palais Littéraire et Musicale in the Library of L'Ordre des Avocats at the Palais du Justice in Paris, and twice lectured at the Association France-Amériques in Paris. While serving in the Army during the Vietnam War, he helped prosecute one of the My Lai Massacre courts-martial.
