Dan Abrams has developed a reputation as a dexterous news reporter and digital media entrepreneur during an impressive 20-year career that began at NBC Sports. In 1992, the Duke University and Columbia Law School alumnus succeeded his NBC sports internship with five-year tenure as a court reporter for CourtTV, now TruTV. Dan Abrams then served as a News Consultant and a General Assignment Correspondent for NBC, delivering respected news reporting on a variety of programs, including NBC Nightly News, the Today show, and Dateline NBC. Equipped with his extensive background in law, Dan Abrams covered many high profile legal proceedings, including the 2000 Bush v. Gore Supreme Court Decision that determined the United States presidency, the Oklahoma City bombing trials, and the Clinton Impeachment trials. Following a decade of successful news and legal reporting, Dan Abrams began his own legal analysis show, The Abrams Report, which aired for five years often as the highest rated show on the network. Subsequent contributions included a year and a half as General Manager of MSNBC, during which time ratings increased 62%, and another program entitled Verdict with Dan Abrams.
