Alvin Michaelson served as attorney for Robert Kardashian during a pivotal dispute over whether Kardashian could be compelled to testify about a Louis Vuitton garment bag he was videotaped removing from O.J. Simpson's Rockingham estate. Alongside co-counsel Janet Levine, Michaelson represented Kardashian in motion hearings where the defense argued that calling a member of Simpson's legal team as a prosecution witness would violate attorney-client privilege, the advocate-witness rule, and Simpson's Sixth Amendment right to continuity of counsel. The legal battle centered on the fact that the bag appeared full when Kardashian took it but was later presented to the jury empty — raising questions about potentially missing evidence the prosecution never had a chance to examine.
