We're spotlighting JayZ and MeekMill's lawyer, Alex Spiro, who is hip-hop's most sought-after criminal justice attorney
from detainment by U.S. immigration authorities last year, to Mill, who tapped Spiro to serve as special counsel for his REFORM Alliance criminal justice reform organization.
He studied at Harvard Law School, where he is now chair of the legal advisory council for the school’s Fair Punishment Project initiative, which highlights injustices in the criminal justice system that lead to excessive punishment, racial bias, and other issues. Spiro says that he and Team Roc are now “inundated” with calls and emails from Americans dealing with civil rights issues: “People who are in jail that are innocent, people who have had their voting rights and their housing restricted ... people of all walks of life.” He, Jay-Z and the rest of Team Roc comb through the cases together, selecting the ones with the potential to have the greatest overall impact.
