An assistant U.S. attorney whose day job is defending federal hospitals from medical malpractice claims will soon find himself in a very different role: heading the Justice Department's operations in Iraq.A little more about Lynch is in a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office (W.D. Wash.).
Phil Lynch, 56, has been appointed to a one-year stint as 'rule of law coordinator' in Baghdad, meaning he will oversee efforts to advise judges, lawyers and police officers in Iraq's nascent, overwhelmed legal system.
From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics. It is no longer active.
