The Leading Lawyer Who Once Robbed Banks
Shon Hopwood used to be a bank robber but in prison he discovered he had a talent for law
Shon Hopwood is a professor at one of the most respected law schools in the US, Georgetown in Washington.

It would be the envy of any lawyer, but is all the more remarkable when you consider that Shon used to be a bank robber. (Photo courtesy of Shon Hopwood.)
