Attorney John Clune, of the Hutchinson, Black and Cook law firm in Boulder, looks over paperwork on an upcoming case during a meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2015. Clune is representing Deborah Ramirez, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

Working outside the courts

While Ramirez’s case so far falls outside the parameters of Title IX, Kerr believes the firm’s experience guiding victims through university reporting and investigations will help the Boulder woman navigate what’s to come.

High-profile cases

Clune joined Hutchinson, Black and Cook in 2013 after years at his own firm and a stint as a prosecutor in Eagle County. Clune’s experience as a criminal prosecutor who worked on a number of sex-crimes cases was an important asset to the firm, Kerr said.
