In making the appointment, Manhattan US Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: “I’m delighted to announce that Audrey Strauss will be (re)-joining us today in her new role as Senior Counsel to the US Attorney. Audrey’s career has been notable for her commitment to the legal profession and the rule of law: she served as an Officer and Trustee of the Federal Bar Council, as a former President of the New York Council of Defense Lawyers, and as a board member of the Office of Appellate Defender. Most recently Audrey has served as a board member of the Innocence Project, a position she just left in order to come back to serve the Office. She has also served as a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. It is an illustrious record of service, and I am so happy that she has decided to return to the Office.”
