Irving Kanarek is best known for being Charles Manson's lawyer in the Tate-LaBianca Murder Trial.

Kanarek was known for trying to confuse juries and the prosecuting lawyers with his obstructionist ways. He objected 9 times in the opening statements, despite continuous censure by Judge Charles Older, including calling Linda Kasabian insane. By the third day of the trial, he had objected more than 200 times. He was sent to jail twice for being contempt of court by Judge Older.

Kanarek was ordered inactive by the California State Bar in 1990.
