Mr. Zuckerman
is an accomplished lawyer who specializes "in the fields of U.S. and international antitrust law and trade regulation, employment law, and other governmental regulation of business" within his practice at Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt and Mosle. Prior to becoming a partner for the firm 1989, "Mr. Zuckerman was the Director of the Bureau of Competition at the Federal Trade Commission (1986-89); Chief of Staff at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (1984-86); and Special Assistant to the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division at the U.S. Department of Justice (1981-84)."

Some of the questions we will be discussing with Mr. Zuckerman on the show will be:

Why did the Sklars decide to take legal action?

How did they become aware of the CoS agreement and how it pertained to their case with the IRS?

What do you think the ramifications will be for a loss in this case? What about a win?

How far into the legal process do you feel this case will go before there is a resolution? Supreme Court?

Have you been before the Supreme Court before?

Does the court of "public opinion" help or hurt this case and for whom?
