Robert Kennedy memorandums, dated 6/5/63 and 6/10/63

The memorandums dated June 5, 1963, and June 10, 1963, concerned the censure of veteran Attorneys Simon Metrik and Jacob W. Friedman by the New York State Supreme Court on June 4, 1963. These attorneys were charged with "failure to uphold the honor and dignity of the profession and failure to preserve the confidences of a client." The client, Alicia Purdom Clark, fired Simon Metrik after a disagreement, and Friedman, an associate of Metrik's filed the court papers in response to the suit against Clark. Clark had recently inherited $10,000,000 from the estate of her husband (her thirteenth marriage) before his death.
