States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for over forty years. The office is frequently mentioned as being one of the best defender
offices in the country. In addition to his overall administrative responsibilities, Mr. MacCarthy continues to personally try cases and to train and
assist his staff of twenty attorneys. Mr. MacCarthy has been active principally in the field of trial practice, in both criminal and civil matters. He

programs, has lectured in all 50 states and over a dozen foreign countries. In August, 2007 his long-awaited book “MacCarthy on Cross-
Examination” was published by the American Bar Association. In February, 2008 NACDL honored him with its 2008 Champion of Justice Award.
MacCarthy is on the permanent faculty of the National Criminal Defense College, the Western Trial Advocacy Institute, the University of
