[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to say, ethics lawyers aren’t the brightest in the bunch. [/quote]
Non-lawyers who think ethics lawyers are human rights lawyers are certainly below that level. [/quote]

She teaches human rights law at AU and has represented clients on human rights cases, so I think we are splitting hairs. [/quote]
She doesn’t teach human rights law at AU. She’s a supervising attorney for a law clinic on a part-time basis.[/quote]

FFS. Students in legal clinics take a class to be part of a clinic. She is teacher of that class. https://www.wcl.american.edu/community/faculty/profile/palmer/bio[/quote]
She is not a “teacher” in any practical sense. She’s effectively is a supervisor of legal interns.

If you don’t know how law school works or what a legal clinic is, you should really just stand down because you are misrepresenting her experience is important ways that I’m sure she would be careful not to do herself.

Lawyer who has been in a legal clinic. She’s a human rights law professor. Professors are teachers. You sound kinda sexist - not a great look for you, Mendo. [/quote]

DP. She has a decent career for a bright, mid-tier lawyer. She’s done zero real legal work requiring any sort of grit and difficulty, or dealing with complex political forces. She’s very average as a lawyer. [/quote]

and also tbh, her background as a government ethics lawyer suggests a real lack of drive and interest. those jobs are done by only the most unimaginative, rules-bound, bureaucratic types. who wants to have any part of their career be reviewing financial disclosure forms … it’s just so incredibly establishment. this matters because it means she has a personality that tends towards a sort of smug hectoring to keep others within arbitrary lines. really not what I want in a council chair.
