Public interest / political games

Friday I published the identity of the former Boalt student who has accused former Boalt dean John Dwyer of sexual harassment. Stefan Sharkansky has been doing some interesting follow-up research on Public Advocates, Inc., the "public interest" law firm where Jennifer Reisch is now employed. Sharkansky notes that Public Advocates, Inc. would more accurately be called a "political advocacy law firm." Interesting stuff, especially in light of how Reisch's accusation is being leveraged by Linda Hamilton Krieger, a Boalt professor who has mentored Reisch and now seeks to use Reisch's allegations to further her own agenda at Berkeley.
