I worked as Office Manager for the Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute for almost three years. I worked very closely with a law professor, the wonderful and sometimes challenging Ann Fagan Ginger. I automated the process of publishing her books, writing scripts in WordPerfect (ugly) to create a database format and to generate subject and geographical indices.

Here's a description of the HUMAN RIGHTS AND PEACE LAW DOCKET: 1945-1993:

The first law reporter providing detailed descriptions of cases in courts, legislatures, and administrative agencies in the United States, 38 other nations, and the International Court of Justice in which parties raised issues under the U.N. Charter, Nuremberg Principles, and other peace law.

I learned enough about the law to realize that I was not interested in law school. I also confirmed that I am committed to work for a mission that I believe in. I can lend my talents to support a cause in many ways. I am good at research and willing to dig in and learn new technologies.
