Which lawyer and Kardashian family patriarch was part of O. J. Simpson’s defense team?

Robert Kardashian was a businessman and attorney who became nationally recognized during Simpson’s 1995 murder trial. He was part of the defense team commonly nicknamed the “Dream Team,” alongside high-profile lawyers including Johnnie Cochran and Robert Shapiro.

The trial received enormous media attention, and Kardashian’s visible role connected the family name with one of the most publicized American court cases of the 20th century. He was also the father of Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian.
