Background
Ms. Conrad was an attorney who was indefinitely suspended from practicing law in New York by the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court, effective December 18, 2007. Her cross-motion for reinstatement was denied without prejudice to a future motion supported by an expert evaluation of her fitness to practice law. She had a father who served as an immigration judge with the Justice Department and a husband with a criminal history, both facts she later failed to disclose in relevant legal proceedings.
Ms. Conrad served as Juror No. 1 in the federal criminal trial of United States of America v. Paul M. Daugerdas, et al., a tax shelter fraud case in the Southern District of New York. During voir dire, she made multiple material misrepresentations, including about her residence, her legal background and suspension, her husband's criminal history, her father's government employment, her own arrest history, and her involvement in a disciplinary proceeding. These concealed facts came to light after trial, triggering significant post-trial litigation regarding juror misconduct.
Conrad was subsequently deposed and testified on February 15, 2012, about her conduct during jury selection and the trial. Her deposition responses were described as evasive and sometimes contradictory. She was questioned extensively about her alcohol consumption, financial situation, credibility, and behavior during court appearances. She ultimately apologized for misrepresenting herself during jury selection and was released from an arrest warrant.
Epstein Connection
Ms. Conrad does not appear to have a direct, documented connection to Jeffrey Epstein. She appears in documents within this collection primarily because of her role as a juror and witness in the United States v. Paul M. Daugerdas, et al. tax shelter fraud case in the Southern District of New York. These documents were part of court-unsealed and house-oversight materials included in the broader document repository. Her appearance alongside Epstein-related names in the co-occurring persons list is a function of document overlap within the collection rather than evidence of a personal or professional connection to Epstein.
