NAMES IN THE NEWS : Dysart to Bar: ‘More Freebies’
Richard Dysart, who plays a senior partner on NBC’s “L.A. Law” television series, encouraged real-life Kentucky lawyers to do more volunteer legal work.
Dysart, who plays Leland McKenzie on the series, was the keynote speaker Friday at a banquet for the Kentucky Bar Assn.
Dysart also played McKenzie in a 30-second public service announcement taped Friday for the KBA. Dysart did the tape free in hopes lawyers will follow suit and perform more volunteer legal work.
“I say if it gets one Kentucky lawyer to go out to a senior citizens center and show someone how to fill out a government medical form, it’s worth the effort,” Dysart said.
