For the college-bound son of a former co-counsel, Nancy Hollander took the time and effort during a friendly dinner conversation in August 2016 to explain distinctions between her client Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden.

Manning is the former U.S. Army intelligence analyst convicted of a 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, whose sentence President Barack Obama commuted this week. Snowden is a former government contractor who leaked National Security Agency documents in 2013, who faced espionage charges before fleeing to Russia.
