Episode 132 - Next Lawyer Up with Ron Sykstus featuring Elie Honig

If you watch CNN at all, you have undoubtedly seen attorney Elie Honig, CNN Senior Legal Analyst, especially over the past several months. Elie always comes off very knowledgeable about any legal matter that he is asked about and he has an easy going and affable manner about him that allows him to help explain complicated and nuanced legal situations quickly and in an understandable way.  Elie, as you’ll hear, has an impressive pedigree to include Rutgers University and Harvard Law School, followed by work as an assistant US attorney with the well-known office of the Southern Distrct of New York (SDNY) in Manhattan. That position was followed by several years working as an assistant Attorney General with the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice.  Currently, he is a special counsel at Lowenstein Sandler. In addition to the work he does for CNN, Elie teaches at Rutgers and serves as the executive director of the Rutgers Institute for Secure Communities.  He has authored two books,  here and here, and he hosts two podcasts as well, here and here. Elie has carved out an interesting career path for himself and I enjoyed talking with him on this episode.  I hope you enjoy it!
