In the category of “we here at triscribe, because we’re APA and we’re lawyers”:
Following up on a previous post on Prof. Goodwin Liu: Governor Jerry Brown nominates Prof. Liu for the California Supreme Court, the highest court of California. See the post from Angry Asian Man blog on the subject (he further links to an LA Times article). See also NAPABA’s official press release.
I guess Prof. Liu will get that judicial experience he supposedly needs.
Although, it’s kind of interesting that this news comes right on the heels of this article over at The National Law Journal, “Law Professors Find a Hard Road to Federal Appointments.” I’m really not sure what it means when being a law professor isn’t a plus, but kudos to Prof. Liu, Gov. Brown, and California for bucking a trend, even if it is in the state level.
