SAHAR F. AZIZ
Professor of Law
sahar-aziz-Dec2016 269
“Law does not function in a vacuum. To competently represent their clients, lawyers not only must master legal doctrine but also understand the social, political and economic realities that shape law and ultimately define justice in America.”
Get to Know Sahar F. Aziz
What drew you to the law?
My parents immigrated from Egypt to the United States in pursuit of educational and economic opportunity. Over the years as we transitioned into our new home, we faced multiple challenges that exposed me to societal disparities that undermine America’s commitment to rule of law and equal opportunity for all. After serving as a student leader and advocate for underprivileged communities, I decided to become a lawyer committed to safeguarding the civil rights, opportunities and freedoms that attract millions of immigrants across the world to the United States in pursuit of a better life.
What do you enjoy most about teaching?
I view law school as a training ground for my students to prepare for the rigor and intellectual challenge of representing a diverse clientele in various contexts. As such, I take pride in teaching my students effective study habits, interpersonal skills, and the work ethic necessary to be a successful lawyer and future leader.
What do you hope students gain from your courses?
Practicing law is much more than simply knowing statutes or legal doctrines. It is a multifaceted craft that requires years to master. As such, I incorporate into my courses experiential learning through simulations, legal memos and in-class exercises that allow my students to incorporate the legal doctrine into problem-solving processes. Rather than memorize law that is subject to change over time, my students are encouraged to be independent thinkers who can analyze and critique existing law and policy as they learn creative litigation strategies, how to persuasively frame arguments, and oral advocacy skills.
What did you do prior to entering academia?
I was fortunate to utilize my law degree in various contexts, including as an associate at WilmerHale representing corporate clients, at Cohen Milstein Sellers and Toll representing plaintiffs in class-action Title VII litigation, and as a Senior Policy Advisor for the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. I had the privilege of serving as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Andre M. Davis (currently on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit) when he served on the U.S. District Court of the District of Maryland.
What are you passionate about outside of the law?
As a former track and field athlete, running continues to be an important part of my life. I also love to travel internationally with my family, including my three beautiful children.
What are your research interests?
My research focuses on the intersection of national security and civil liberties, with a particular focus on the domestic impact on ethnic and religious minority groups and the global impact on authoritarianism and democracy in the Middle East.

Trump's Transition Approval Lower Than Predecessors'
by Jeffrey M. Jones
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
48% approve, 48% disapprove of how Trump is handling transition
Past three presidents-elect had approval at or above 65%
Transition approval has usually exceeded initial job approval ratings
PRINCETON, N.J. -- Americans are evenly divided in their assessment of the way Donald Trump is handling his presidential transition, with 48% approving and 48% disapproving. By contrast, 65% or more approved of the way the past three presidents-elect were handling their transitions at similar points in time, including 75% for Barack Obama in December 2008.

They don't exist
That "list of authors" - what an all-star line-up. Has anyone ever heard of any of them?
I don't buy it. That list is the #Fake News that Hillary warned us all against. None of those people exist.
The forelock-tugging pomposity, the silly solemnity, the funereal black border, the oldskool flag, the form of address ("Esteemed"!), the font, the centred-text format, the general all-round up-its-own-arseness of the damn thing..
They have got to be taking the piss. (Surely?)

Full disclosure: I was joking when I said that those authors didn't exist. It's only too easy to believe that they do exist, that they are not in fact taking the piss, and that they have been entrusted with the sacred task of Forming Young Minds.
