A new film, The Mauritanian, features Jodi Foster as attorney Nancy Hollander. Foster has already won a Golden Globe for her performance, and the film sheds light on Hollander's tenacious fight to free her client, the secretive prison camp and the illegal practices therein. Attorney Nancy Hollander has been a member of the firm Freedman Boyd Hollander Goldberg Ives & Duncan, P.A. since 1980 and a partner since 1983. Her practice is largely devoted to criminal cases, including those involving national security issues. She has also been counsel in numerous civil cases, forfeitures and administrative hearings, and has argued and won a case involving religious freedom in the United States Supreme Court. Ms. Hollander also served as a consultant to the defense in a high profile terrorism case in Ireland, has assisted counsel in other international cases and represents two prisoners at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. Nancy is co-author of WestGroups Everytrial Criminal Defense Resource Book, Whartons Criminal Evidence, 15th Edition, and Whartons Criminal Procedure, 14th Edition. She has appeared on national television programs as PBS Now, Burden of Proof, the Today Show, Oprah Winfrey, CourtTV, and the MacNeill/Lehrer News Hour.
