[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]
This is hilarious. She’s not a “professor”. AU doesn’t refer to her as a professor. Clinics are practicums for experiential education, so it doesn’t even make any sense. She supports and advises participants, which is consistent with her stated role as a “supervising attorney” which is the actual job title that AU gave her.

It isn’t even accurate to say that she is part of the AU WCL clinical faculty, because AU doesn’t even consider her a faculty member.

Why you feel the need to overstate her credentials, I have no idea. But it’s not sexist to point that out and it’s actually pretty sad to claim that it is. I think you are doing her campaign a grave disservice. [/quote]

You are hilarious and have very little understanding of how law schools works. Adjunct faculty...are...faculty...And yes, the constant downplaying of her credentials and/or suggesting because she has three kids she does not the time time/energy is pretty boilerplate sexism. Your participation in these attacks does general womanhood a great disservice. Try harder. Be better. [/quote]
