She frequently discusses issues from what she describes as a "victims' rights" standpoint, with an outspoken style that has brought her both praise and criticism. She is the host of ''Nancy Grace'' (2005–present), a nightly celebrity news and current affairs show on HLN, and she was the host of Court TV's ''Closing Arguments'' (1996–2007). She also co-wrote the book ''Objection!: How High-Priced Defense Attorneys, Celebrity Defendants, and a 24/7 Media Have Hijacked Our Criminal Justice System.'' Grace was also the arbiter of ''Swift Justice with Nancy Grace'' in the syndicated courtroom reality show's first season. Due to the show relocating from Atlanta, Georgia (where Grace lives), she was replaced by former Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass. The show was not renewed for a new season under Glass. ==Early life== Nancy Grace was born in Macon, Georgia, the youngest of three children, to factory worker Elizabeth Grace and Mac Grace, a freight agent for Southern Railway.

She went on to earn a Master of Laws in constitutional and criminal law from New York University.〔 She has written articles and opinion pieces for legal periodicals, including the ''American Bar Association Journal''.〔 She worked as a clerk for a federal court judge and practiced antitrust and consumer protection law with the Federal Trade Commission.〔 She taught litigation at the Georgia State University College of Law and business law at GSU's School of Business.〔 As of 2006, she is part of Mercer University's board of trustees and adopted a section of the street surrounding the law school. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nancy Grace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
