Steve Zissou (jurist)

Steve Zissou (born 1955) is an American attorney, with a practice in Federal criminal law in the Bayside, Queens district of New York City.[1]

Career

He was admitted to legal practice in New York State in 1983.

Buena Vista Pictures contacted Zissou in the process of script clearance because of the match between the names. The two parties negotiated an agreement that includes confidential terms, and the closing titles of the film are said[2] to include the wording "The filmmakers acknowledge that the real Steve Zissou is a prominent attorney in New York City specializing in complex federal litigation."

Zissou represented Denver Broncos player Travis Henry in the 2007 matter of NFL re-testing of Henry's urine.[3]

In 2010, he was an attorney for Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani in the 1998 United States embassy bombings in East Africa, and made the motion, on the third day of jury deliberations, for declaring a hung jury.[4]

gollark: Wonderful.
gollark: Ah yes, following the tradition of PotatOS, AvocadOS, BurritOS, YomatOS, TomatOS and ShutdownOS.
gollark: > I'm a dedicated member of the esolangs esocommunity - even if I only made three esolangs and they are mostly joke languages and not very good, I am pretty actively on the discord and contribute* to conversations. I would NOT do the problematic stuff you do such as randomly removing roles people liked, randomly muting and/or kicking people, generally punishing people excessively for small things, insulting people (e.g. telling them to kill themselves) for having different food preferences, breaking bots for ages, or deleting 2000 messages [DATA EXPUNGED], a mere orthographic projection of your badness.> Also, I want the nice staff color and want Nobody/Palaiologos (how do you SPELL THAT) to stop doxxing people. Additionally, I have many innovations I'd like to bring to the server, such as a dodecahedron emoji, and can help develop some of them because I am somewhat okay at bot development, if not graphic design.
gollark: Anyway, I do still need suggestions for improving my application.
gollark: Also, anyone can trigger an election at any time for any reason.
