Mary Conway Clark is a defense attorney who served as Casey Novak's mentor back when she was a judge and Novak clerked for her.
History[]
She started as a legal aid attorney before she got elevated to judge. Because of bills due to having children and an ex-husband who always avoided paying her alimony she switched to private practice.
Novak consulted with her on what to do with Adam Nesbit when he confesses to murdering his brother. (SVU: "Home")
Clark chastises Novak when she informs Mary Ellen Abbott about her husband, Andy's, HIV status without his permission. (SVU: "Lowdown")
Novak attempts to get Mary's help with Judge Oliver Taft without any success until the SVU finds proof that Rosalin Silvo was innocent. Disgusted with Taft's actions, Mary takes Rosalin's case herself and files a joint motion with Novak a few days later that successfully gets Rosalin's conviction overturned. Mary chastises Taft for his actions and his implied threat to Novak, but their celebration is interrupted by the news that another defendant in one of Taft's cases whom he had let out of prison due to his biases had just murdered her daughter. (SVU: "Poison")
