This is a notice of motion filed by Virginia Giuffre's legal team seeking permission to amend her defamation complaint against Alan Dershowitz in their 2019 lawsuit.
Filed on December 20, 2019, this court document represents Cooper & Kirk PLLC's motion for leave to file an amended complaint in Giuffre v. Dershowitz. Charles Cooper had recently taken over as Giuffre's attorney after her previous counsel David Boies was disqualified from the case. The motion came roughly eight months after Giuffre filed her original defamation lawsuit against Dershowitz, who had publicly called her a 'liar' after she accused him of sexual abuse in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
Key Highlights
- •Cooper & Kirk PLLC filed this motion just weeks after taking over the case from David Boies in November 2019
- •The motion sought to expand Giuffre's defamation claims against Dershowitz before Judge Loretta A. Preska
- •This case ultimately settled in November 2022 with Giuffre stating she 'may have made a mistake' in identifying Dershowitz
