Sharpening the Craft of Special Victims Prosecution
Episode 156
Wednesday, 10 June, 2026

Like most prosecutors, Jennifer Long learned on the job. Now she helps train them. After starting her career in a DA's office, Jennifer moved into handling child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault cases. Today, she's the founder and CEO of AEquitas, a nonprofit that supports prosecutors across the country working on those same crimes. Jennifer spends her time writing grants, managing projects, and developing the next generation of experts in the field, while still keeping her hands in the substantive legal work. She explains how she built her advocacy skills in court as a new prosecutor, what it takes to handle deeply sensitive cases, and why strong writing became central to her impact. Jennifer is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Carey School of Law. This episode is hosted by Katya Valasek.Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about Haynes Boone LLPLearn more about Juno and private student loansLearn more about Juno and private student loansAccess LawHub today!
