Lauren Pierce

Her story

Lauren grew up around the horse barns of Louisville, where her father trained thoroughbreds. She learned early that rules matter, at the track and everywhere else.

She earned her law degree and spent twelve years as a federal prosecutor, taking on fraud, public corruption and violent crime, and arguing before the federal appeals courts.

She left the courtroom to explain the law to the people it is supposed to serve. She covers the Supreme Court, major rulings and the Justice Department.
