Female deans of Harvard and Stanford law under consideration for Solicitor General.
Edited on Fri Jan-02-09 09:08 PM by ProSense

Female deans of Harvard and Stanford law under consideration for Solicitor General.

Bloomberg reports that the first female deans of the Harvard and Stanford law schools — Elena Kagan and Kathleen Sullivan — “are the top candidates to serve” as Barack Obama’s Solicitor General. No woman has ever served in that position on a permanent basis. Kagan “became a top candidate for solicitor general after being passed over for deputy attorney general, a slot set to go to Washington lawyer David Ogden.” The Solicitor General is charged with litigating on behalf of the government before the Supreme Court and determining whether lower court decisions should be appealed.

2. This is good news but the bigger news in the story is David Ogden
as Deputy AG.

What do we know about him? Does he have the balls to go after the torture criminals?

3. Well, then, I'm nominating my favorite law school dean


Cynthia Nance, Dean of the University of Arkansas School of Law. She's a Chicago native, an expert on labor law, and holds a JD and an MA in Finance from the University of Iowa.

I had her as my professor for Employment Law, Labor Law, and Torts before she took over as dean.
