Clark was a prosecutor for the State of California, County of Los Angeles, best remembered for her involvement in the O.J. Simpson murder case along with Christopher Darden. Prior to the O.J. Simpson murder case, her most high-profile prosecution was in 1991, when she prosecuted Robert John Bardo for the murder of television star Rebecca Schaeffer.

In the years following the Simpson trial, Clark has made numerous appearances on television including being a "special correspondent" for Entertainment Tonight, where she provided coverage of high profile trials and reported from the red carpet at awards shows such as the Emmys. She was a guest attorney on the short-lived television show Power of Attorney and was also featured on Headline News (HLN) to weigh in on the Casey Anthony trial.
In addition, Clark contributes a column for The Daily Beast., and has written two novels, Guilt By Association (2011) and Guilt By Degrees (2012), published by Mulholland Books (US and UK).

“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”

“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
