The Atlanta Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society will host Kenneth Starr, the former lawyer and judge best known for his work as independent prosecutor for President Bill Clinton's impeachment proceedings, at a monthly luncheon Jan. 17 in the offices of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton at 1100 Peachtree St. N.E.

The group also will offer for sale Starr's new book, “Contempt: A Memoir of the Clinton Investigation” at the discounted price of $12. The lunch will be more: $15 for members and $20 for nonmembers. Registration is open until Friday on the Federalist Society's space at Eventbrite.com.

Starr may be preaching to the choir at the conservative lawyers' group, which has supplied names to President Donald Trump for this judicial picks. Promotion for “Contempt” brings up every scandal of the Clinton administration.

“You could fill a library with books about the scandals of the Clinton administration, which eventually led to President Clinton's impeachment by the House of Representatives. Bill and Hillary Clinton have told their version of events, as have various journalists and participants. Whenever liberals recall those years, they usually depict independent counsel Ken Starr as an out-of-control, politically driven prosecutor,” the book promotion on Amazon.com says. “But as a New York Times columnist asked in 2017, 'What if Ken Starr was right?' What if the popular media in the 1990s completely misunderstood Starr's motives, his tactics, and his ultimate goal: to ensure that no one, especially not the president of the United States, is above the law? Starr—the man at the eye of the hurricane—has kept his unique perspective to himself for two full decades. In this long-awaited memoir, he finally sheds light on everything he couldn't tell us during the Clinton years, even in his carefully detailed 'Starr Report' of September 1998.”

Starr's report was indeed detailed—right down to the buttons on Monica Lewinsky's dress. But with “Contempt,” he has more to say.

Starr is currently of counsel at the Lanier Law Firm in Houston. He is a former president of Baylor University and dean of Pepperdine University School of Law. He has served as a U.S. solicitor general and a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Starr has authored more than 25 publications and received numerous honors from the FBI and Justice Department, according to his bio on the Lanier firm website. Starr earned his undergraduate degree from George Washington University, a master's degree from Brown University and his law degree from Duke University Law School.
