Laurie Gilbertson | Legal Entrepreneurs for Justice
Ethical, transparent and accessible. Is that what comes to mind when you think of private law practice? Me either. But the work my guest today is doing, is trying to change all that.
Laurie Gilbertson left her work as a Prosecutor in New York City, where she tried everything from fraud to murder cases. In fact her last case was highly unique in that it took three times to get the defendant an attempted murder conviction despite the plethora of evidence and solid witnesses. This was the trial of Christopher Prince in Queens, New York. She now sits on the board of Legal Entrepreneurs for Justice - a legal incubator, designed to operate in a totally new way. I loved learning about this and was thrilled when Laurie shared that these are cropping up across the Unites States, with about 70- 80 in existence. You can check and see if your state has a "legal incubator" here:

Listen as Laurie shares the many ways these new models of practicing law are helping level the playing field.
