Cornelia “Nina” Pillard is a Professor at Georgetown University Law Center. Her research addresses issues of equality and nondiscrimination, the law of work, and the processes and institutions by which law is effectuated. She teaches civil procedure, constitutional Law, American and transnational legal theory, and various labor and employment courses. Nina recently published Against the New Maternalism (with Naomi Mezey). Her current research explores the bases for the legitimacy arbitration under pre-dispute agreements.

Professor Pillard joined the Georgetown Law faculty after a decade as an accomplished litigator. A magna cum laude graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School, Pillard began her legal career in a federal clerkship with the Honorable Louis H. Pollak (1987-1988), held the Marvin M. Karpatkin fellowship at the ACLU (1988-89), and litigated individual and class-action racial discrimination cases and appeals at the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc (1989-1994). Pillard’s Supreme Court work includes more than twenty-five cases that she has briefed and nine that she has argued before the Court. Litigation highlights include United States v. Virginia (1996), which opened the Virginia Military Institute to women, and Nevada Dept. of Social Svcs. v. Hibbs (2003), which sustained Family and Medical Leave Act rights against constitutional challenge. She is currently the faculty Co-Director of the Supreme Court Institute (SCI) at Georgetown Law. Project Summary

At the Wilson Center, Nina will be starting a major project on codes of conduct setting labor standards in transnational supply chains. Pillard's Wilson Center research is done in coordination with an interdisciplinary group of scholars whose project, Corporate Social Responsibility in the Electronics Manufacturing Industry: The Implications of Soft Governance for Labor Standards, is funded by the Swiss Network for International Scholars.

The problem with Pillard isn’t her leftist, nutjob views, it’s that she thinks she should advance them from the bench. She is utterly without judicial temperment, or respect for the law. Unqualified.

You wouldn’t want them to be “punished with a child” would you?

[Gay State Conservative]

It may “free women” but it's a lot less helpful for little girls (not to mention little boys).

[mlizzy]

A lifetime of regret is not freedom. Those who abort and do not regret are left with hearts of stone. Abortion is destroying the world.

So much for Mitch McWeasel “shutting down the Senate” through “procedural delays”. How long did that last — 2 hours?

“Pillard argues that abortion is necessary to help “free women from historically routine conscription into maternity.”

You know...with all the earthquakes going on in the world, and all of the strange groaning sounds being heard randomly in the sky all over the world, is very suspect of the boundaries of Hell expanding. After reading this article, I am convinced of this.
