Mr. Bennett was forced to shuttle between courtrooms at the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., in September 1992, sometimes on the same day, to defend two former secretary of defense at once: Republican Caspar W. Weinberger and Democrat Clark M. Clifford.

In the instance of President Clinton, whose liaison with Monica Lewinsky was revealed in the Paula Jones lawsuit, Mr. Bennett was quick to tell reporters that the Jones filing was “tabloid trash with a legal caption.”
