Wow, 10 weeks at a "radical" law firm. - Reader comments at The New York Sun

Submitted by Paul '52, Nov 26, 2007 12:26

Well there we have it. Hillary spent a summer internship at a lefty law firm. This had such a big impact on her that after graduation she spent 15 years with the biggest corporate firm in Arkansas, representing clients like Wal-Mart and Tyson Chicken.

And all that discussion about her "legal work" on Black Panther cases.... Get a grip, really. Do your writers know any real lawyers? Ask them how much real work a summer intern gets to do over a period of 2 to 2 1/2 months. At best, a couple of memos, a draft of a brief, a ride-along on a client interview or two. Do you think she made a difference in any case she handled?

Yes, let's contrast Hillary with a "good" lawyer like Ted Olson, who makes a couple of million a year telling courts that his power company clients aren't adding to global warming. Why can't she be more like him?
