A follow up to this, based on Conrad's new book

Quote: Among other criticisms, Conrad says: “Eddie Greenspan’s methods were far too ponderous for the rapid cadence of American courts.”

In this context he notes: “Greenspan appeared to have no idea how to deal with the objections technically, and no idea whether they were well founded or not. Sussman was like a hyena nibbling at the legs of a lumbering beast.”

On one occasion, Conrad says that he asked Greenspan “very calmly to raise my comfort level about your ability to master U.S. procedure.” Greenspan angrily flared up and said he’d return to Toronto immediately. When told of this, Conrad’s wife, Barbara Amiel, “thought this was a golden opportunity not to be missed ... and had to be restrained from paying for a private flight to take him home that day.”



While not seemingly in the on-line article, the print edition article also mentions the allegations that Greenspan and co-counsel virtually extored $2 million from Black at a difficult point in the trial. Though Black backs up Greenspan somewhat(that it wasn't quite extortion), he does feel he was taken advantage of.
