西棕櫚灘的黑人女律師

一件小事，有律師給我打電話留言，說是州律師總署的。

電話打過去，人挺好，也聽不出口音，就有一答沒一答的聊起來，說是讓寫點材料傳真過去，星期二出庭時好用。

回家後就整理好材料，在發傳真前，上網上查了查，乖乖，不得了。

下麵是這個女律師的介紹：



Renelda Mack,the outgoing president of the Board of Governors of the Emory University. After receiving her degree in English literature from Emory, Mack spent a year as a Bobby Jones scholar in Scotland, then went to law school at the University of Florida. She is now chief of the civil rights unit in the State Attorney’s office in the fifteenth judicial circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida.



也就是說，這家夥是亞特蘭大一所黑人大學學生會的主席，畢業後到蘇格蘭學習了一年，然後在佛羅裏達大學修法律，目前是佛羅裏達州律師總暑駐棕櫚灘縣第十五法庭民事廳首席檢察官。

再多查一下，這家夥還挺活躍，是棕櫚灘縣女童子軍（少先隊）指導委員會的主席。

From a girl member of the board to the president of the Council, Renelda Mack has brought a lot to Girl Scouting and to our community. As a girl member in 1979, Renelda was already demonstrating her commitment to and advocacy for girls. As a Senior Girl Scout, she was selected to represent our council at two Wider Opportunities.

She continued to serve Girl Scouts as an assistant leader to a Girl Guide Company while studying in Scotland. Renelda came back to serve her home council, joining the board in 1998 and serving as president from 2002-2004. During her tenure, this very busy civil rights attorney founded an innovative Girl Scout troop at a regional detention center, and helped girls explore careers in law.

她最近獲得了棕櫚灘縣女子協會頒發的長頸鹿獎。獲獎者的介紹中是這樣說的：

Renelda is the Chief, Civil Rights Unit, Office of the State Attorney General, palm Beach County and Special Assistant United States Attorney. As part of her profession, she prosecutes hate crims and pursues violations of the Americans with Disabilities with Disabilities Act. On a personal level, renelda's passion for service has ranged from creating a Girl Scout Troop at the Palm beach Regional Juvenile Detention Center to leading Emory Universsity Alumni as Presendent. There she created a national and international program for the homeless and hungry.

也就是說，這家夥獲獎，主要還是她在民權與社會和諧方麵所做的領導和貢獻。
