Dean Strang, the attorney made famous from the hit Netflix documentary, Making A Murderer<\/em>, arrived at the University of Limerick (UL) this week to begin his role as guest lecturer.<\/p>\n

Mr Strang is set to lead a six-week module of lectures at the School of Law.<\/p>\n

Mr Strang said UL had given him “the chance of a lifetime:\u00a0to immerse myself in an Irish law school for nearly two months, and to learn about how law is taught and lived in Ireland”.<\/p>\n

“I will have chances to hear and meet Irish students, professors, lawyers and judges and to consider questions that daily law practice either crowds out or omits,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The module began on Saturday, February 10, and he was also in attendance at some first-year lectures and was a judge in the A & L Goodbody Moot court.<\/p>\n

The Moot court had a full house as Law students and fans of the Netflix documentary turned out to catch a glimpse of Mr Strang.<\/p>\n

A first-year Law Plus student Chloe Murtagh said: \u201cIt\u2019s so exciting to have such a world-renowned attorney in our presence and were all looking forward to his \u2018in conversation\u2019 event in two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Conversation with Dean Strang <\/em>will take place in the University Concert Hall on Thursday, March 1.<\/p>\n

The public conversation will discuss the role of the defence lawyer, entitled How Can You Defend Those People? and Mr Strang will be joined by Mark Nicholas, a Senior Counsel and an expert in criminal law here in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Dean Strang was one of the attorneys who represented Stephen Avery, convicted of the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2007. Mr Avery is currently serving a life sentence.<\/p>\n

The 2015 Netflix documentary, Making A Murderer<\/em> surrounded the life of Stephen Avery and his wrongful conviction and sentencing to life imprisonment.<\/p>\n
