Kaye Scholer MP’s Run-in with the Real Professor Kingsfield

"Probably my favorite [legal movie] was Paper Chase. I had one of the two professors who it was patterned after, Clark Byse," said Michael Solow, Kaye Scholer's Managing Partner and Executive Committee Co-Chair. In the third video in our series with Solow, he tells us about his favorite movies, and the time, at Harvard Law School, that he had a tense in-class exchange with one of the models for the iconic Professor Kingsfield of John Jay Osborn Jr.'s "The Paper Chase."

The idea that Kingsfield was modeled after specific people was denied by Osborn.

Don’t get it twisted. This man will step on your neck when you are down. All big firms are like that.
