Legal warriors redefining justice

In a world where justice wears many

0:02

faces, these legal warriors are

0:04

rewriting what it means to practice law.

0:07

From a California lawyer defending the

0:09

digital rebel group Anonymous to a man

0:12

who turned his own wrongful conviction

0:14

into a mission for reform and the go-to

0:17

attorney for hip hop's biggest names

0:19

such as Gucci Mane and the members of

0:22

Migos. Get ready to meet the guys who

0:25

truly know how to lay down the

0:28

law. Anonymous. You've probably heard of

0:31

them. They're the group of online

0:33

activists that carry out cyber ops to

0:34

advance social and political change. And

0:37

sometimes they need a

0:39

lawyer. A really good

0:43

lawyer. At first glance, Jay Lerman

0:46

seems like a regular guy. He lives in

0:47

the suburbs, drives a fast car, and is a

0:49

self-p profofessed deadhead. Oh, and he

0:52

loves

0:53

whiskey. But there's more to Jay's story

0:55

than immediately meets the eye. When Jay

0:58

sits down at the computer, he's anything

0:59

but average. I represent accused cyber

1:03

criminals, many of whom are either

1:05

affiliated with anonymous or closely

1:07

related groups.

1:10

And it all started with a tweet.

1:12

I sent out a couple tweets giving

1:15

attention to the fact that I would take

1:16

a pro bono case. The next morning, there

1:18

was an email in my inbox from Commander
