Gary L. Anderson
Mr. Anderson is the new CEO of the Clarence Darrow Foundation, a 33-year old 501(c)(3) non-
profit public charity dedicated to the legacy and perpetuation of the ideals of Mr. Darrow who
defended the friendless and frightened of our society. Mr. Anderson works on CLE programs with
public defender trainers, judicial colleges, judges associations, criminal defense lawyers, trial lawyers
associations, the ACLU, and tours law schools to promote public service law and pro bono programs.

He has recently co-authored his third interactive Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program,
The Lucasville Rebellion: Informants, Perjury and the Search for Truth. The program
addresses convictions based on an analysis of informant testimony from the recent Capital University
Law review article Napue Nightmares: Perjured Testimony in the Trials Following the 1993
Lucasville, Ohio, Prison Uprising by attorney Staughton Lynd.

It premiered at the 4th Annual Public Defenders State Wide Meeting and Training Conference in
Montana 2009. The CLE program features attending lawyers who will also portray various scenes
from Mr. Anderson’s Off Broadway produced drama also based on the Lucasville rebellion. Scenes
are drawn from actual court documents, trial exhibits, interrogation notes, recantations, and witness
testimony. It will also feature a regional legal panel to tie in the related substantive Federal and state
law in which it is presented. The program addresses legal issues such as: using and challenging
informants, perjured testimony, proper impeachment using prior inconsistent statements,
prosecutorial misconduct, false evidence, and the ethical duties of both prosecutors and defense
counsel.

Mr. Anderson has also written a drama - Convict Race: Lucasville, based on Mr. Lynd’s book,
Lucasville:The Untold Story of a Prison Uprising. Convict Race focuses on the prison uprising in
Ohio in 1993 and the men who are currently on Death Row as a result of murder convictions stemming
from it. A previous version of Mr. Anderson’s play was produced Off Broadway in New York City in
2008. It has toured 17 cities since 2007.
