The 1998 Wickersham Award for exceptional public service and dedication to the legal profession was recently presented to Jamie Gorelick . The award is given annually in connection with the main fund-raising event of LC's Friends of the Law Library, a dinner that traditionally takes place in the U.S. Supreme Court building."Jamie Gorelick has been a distinguished lawyer in private practice and government service. She combines outstanding professional accomplishments with a strong commitment to the public interest," said Abe Krash, president of the Friends, in his introduction. Ms. Gorelick served as general counsel of the Defense Department and subsequently as the deputy attorney general in the Justice Department in 1994-97 before assuming her present duties as vice chair of Fannie Mae, the congressionally chartered provider of home mortgages.

"Public service" award, my Aunt Tilly.
Why Gorelick has not been nailed for malfeasance is an outrage.
