西棕榈滩的黑人女律师

一件小事，有律师给我打电话留言，说是州律师总署的。

电话打过去，人挺好，也听不出口音，就有一答没一答的聊起来，说是让写点材料传真过去，星期二出庭时好用。

回家后就整理好材料，在发传真前，上网上查了查，乖乖，不得了。

下面是这个女律师的介绍：



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.



也就是说，这家伙是亚特兰大一所黑人大学学生会的主席，毕业后到苏格兰学习了一年，然后在佛罗里达大学修法律，目前是佛罗里达州律师总暑驻棕榈滩县第十五法庭民事厅首席检察官。

再多查一下，这家伙还挺活跃，是棕榈滩县女童子军（少先队）指导委员会的主席。

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.

她最近获得了棕榈滩县女子协会颁发的长颈鹿奖。获奖者的介绍中是这样说的：

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.

也就是说，这家伙获奖，主要还是她在民权与社会和谐方面所做的领导和贡献。
