Steven Brill (born August 22 , 1950 in Queens, New York) is the founder of CourtTV and American Lawyer magazine.

According to their website , Clear ceased operations "at 11:00 p.m. PST on June 22, 2009... Clear’s parent company, Verified Identity Pass, Inc. has been unable to negotiate an agreement with its senior creditor to continue operations."

Journalism Online
