Joel Pollack is a human rights lawyer and author from Skokie, Illinois, and graduated from Harvard in 1999. After working as a political speechwriter, Joel enrolled at Harvard Law School in 2006. Right before his graduation in June of 2009, Joel rose to national prominence after challenging Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA), by asking the question: “How much, if any, responsibility do you have for the financial crisis?” and spurred a heated debate, which became a YouTube and TV sensation. He’s the author of two books, Don’t Tell Me Words Don’t Matter
