This week on Gin and Justice, Justine and Amanda chat with Laurie Gilbertson. Laurie is a former sex crimes prosecutor, television legal analyst and legal educator who formed Tribeca Blue Consulting to bring her unique skills and passion for teaching to help professionals communicate better.  Delving into the  stories that stuck with Laurie as a prosecutor, she talks about finding her true purpose not only as a prosecutor and pursuer of justice, but also her love of helping others. 
Today, Laurie uses that exact combination in helping others to learn how to communicate effectively and clearly, finding purpose in each project, whether that’s helping CEOs communicate to their board, or lawyers presenting their trial.

It's the last Legal Brief of the month, so you know what that means!
 Justine and Amanda tell you about all the people added to The National Exoneration Registry.
"The National Registry of Exonerations is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at University of California Irvine, the University of Michigan Law School and Michigan State University College of Law. It was founded in 2012 in conjunction with the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law. The Registry provides detailed information about every known exoneration in the United States since 1989—cases in which a person was wrongly convicted of a crime and later cleared of all the charges based on new evidence of innocence. The Registry also maintains a more limited database of known exonerations prior to 1989."
