Mr. Kapsack's novel developments in science, law, and courtroom technique are frequently used by attorneys across the United States. In fact, virtually every DUI defense attorney in California has been trained by, read the works of, or attended one of Mr. Kapsack's lectures. His lectures for both the State Bar and for the California Public Defenders are among the best attended and they are videotaped and used for continuing education and training. Mr. Kapsack has been asked to write for DUI and criminal publications in California, where he writes the regular update on California DUI for the Public Defenders, and other states including New York, Nebraska, Ohio and nationally for The Champion magazine.

Bruce graduated with honors from Plymouth State College in 1984 with a BA in Interdisciplinary studies. His Juris Doctorate was awarded to him from Washington College of Law at the American University in 1987 where he not only completed the usual curriculum, but also participated in clinical work which led him to argue before the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.

After graduation, he was hired by the Bronx Legal Aid Society as a public defender where he rose to the level of Senior Trial Attorney in under five years. Until his resignation, Bruce was undefeated in trial which led to respect from judges and fear from prosecutors. Mr. Kapsack maintains his connection with public defenders by writing and lecturing as mentioned above, but also by regularly going to local PD offices to present half day seminars on defending DUI cases.
