He realized many black men were suffering because of a law and order system that was riddled with racial bias.
In 2009, Ari Melber began practicing law with a major New York law firm. He specialized in copyright litigation and the ‘First Amendment.’ While working for Abrams, he learned the tricks of the trade and grew into a highly competent lawyer. He also developed his journalistic skills. Abrams later said that Ari had great clarity of thoughts and showed precision in writing, which were qualities of a great lawyer.
Ari Melber currently works as a legal analyst for ‘NBC News’ and a chief legal correspondent for ‘MSNBC.’ His move from practicing law to entering journalism was due to his belief that a journalist can bring in a big change in the legal and criminal justice system.
