Alexandra Shapiro is a former federal prosecutor and one of the leading appellate lawyers in the United States. She has argued in the Supreme Court, won numerous appeals resulting in the exoneration of previously convicted criminal defendants, served as President of the New York Council of Defense Lawyers, and handles many high-profile cases. Shapiro was also one of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s first Supreme Court law clerks and has published a scholarly analysis of the Justice’s criminal law jurisprudence. Inspired by her real-life experiences on both sides of criminal cases, Shapiro hopes Presumed Guilty will raise awareness about unfairness in the criminal justice system and the need for reform. Her book makes clear that the system does not always function properly even for those with significant financial resources, let alone the numerous criminal defendants who face the challenge of prosecution with little to no resources at all. A native New Yorker, Shapiro is married to another criminal defense lawyer; they have three children.
