His experience in complex litigation includes appellate and Supreme Court litigation, antitrust and commercial disputes, white-collar criminal defense work, health care law, and a variety of challenges to government regulation and enforcement. has served as principal counsel in federal jury trials, state court trials, administrative proceedings, numerous appeals, and the impeachment trial of Judge Walter L. Nixon, Jr. before the United States Senate. David argued before the Supreme Court in Ludwig v. Variable Annuity Life Insurance, 115 S. Ct. 810 (1995), concerning the power of national banks to sell annuities, and also argued for the petitioner in United States v. Nixon, 506 U.S. 224 (1993). David lectures to professional groups on topics including antitrust, gaming law, health care law, money laundering, cable television litigation, and white-collar criminal issues.
David’s newest book, The Summer of 1787, traces the struggle at the Philadelphia Convention to create the world's first constitutional democracy. Using the delegates' fiery rhetoric, the book explores the conflicts and hard bargaining that invented a government to meet the crises of the not-quite-united states - huge debts, hostile neighbors, armed rebellion, and the very real prospect of dissolving into three nations or more. It was a desperate balancing act. The people should have power, but could they be trusted? Would a strong central government leave room for the states? Why did they contrive the convoluted electoral college for electing the president? And what of the grinding compromises over slavery, America's original sin? Closeted together in a single room through a sultry Philadelphia summer, the delegates hammered out a government charter that embodied the best of America's dreams, and the worst of America's realities. The making of the Constitution will come alive for you in the pages of this book, and your feelings about how the nation started will never be the same.
