Can I Tell My Liberal Colleagues That I'm a Republican?

September 25, 2012 by Law Firm 10 11 Comments

Top Lawyers of the Obama Administration

June 24, 2009 by Bitter Staff 14 Comments

During the eight years of the Bush administration, 13 lawyers served in the president’s cabinet. That makes 13 lawyers out of 47 total people who held cabinet-level posts.
