President's Speaker Series

Speaker:   Eric Bland, Esq.  Attorney who sent Alec Murdaugh to jail for good.

Despite his bulldog courtroom demeanor, bodybuilder stature, and meteoric rise to the national spotlight, attorney Eric Bland can be surprisingly humble, even vulnerable. The man who brought Alec Murdaugh to justice for numerous financial crimes, says he, like so many of us, suffers from a touch of imposter's syndrome.

"My insecurity is that when I look in the mirror, I don't see a big guy, I still see the skinny ninth grader that got bullied," he said. "I've always felt like somebody was going to come up to me and say, 'The gig is up. The joke is on you.'"

Today Eric is one of the most famous attorneys in the world with hundreds of national television interviews to his name. He made an appearance on Nancy Grace the day of our interview from a setup in his home office, where he also records for Mandy Matney's Murdaugh Murders Podcast (MPP) and Cup of Justice, his podcast that began as bonus episodes to MPP and launched as its own show in January of this year.
