Julie Rendelman - New York, NY

After graduating from Brooklyn Law School, Julie began her legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Kings County, Brooklyn, where she investigated and prosecuted hundreds of criminal cases and quickly earned a reputation as a tough and tenacious trial attorney. While in the office, Julie was lead counsel in over 60 felony jury trials that involved a wide variety of crimes, from drug offenses to sex crimes to homicides. Julie quickly rose to the level of Senior Trial Attorney and was eventually promoted to the elite Homicide Bureau where she became the Deputy Bureau Chief. She handled many high profile cases, including:

• The abduction and brutal murder of eight-year-old Leiby Kletzky
• The stabbing death of New York City bus driver Edwin Thomas by a passenger (Edwin's murder and the subsequent conviction of his assailant led to upgrades in the safety protocols of city buses)
• The murder for hire of Dwayne Burnett at the hands of his "best friend," Ragene Powell Dickerson
  Additionally, while working as a prosecutor, Julie also taught Criminal Procedure as an Adjunct Law professor at Brooklyn Law School.
