Her degree is not in English and she has no law degree. Her Ph.D. is in Black Studies from Michigan State.
She had a son of her own.

I checked her crentials too. BTW, the paper may be wrong as her web page does not claim she is a professor of law specifically. It says she has a joint appointment at the law school. I suspect they pay her to tutor special admits to the law school on writing to try to get them up to speed with the writing ability of regular admits? But this is just conjecture.
How does someone who does NOT have a degree in EITHER law or English get to be a professor of each of those subjects?
Are you SURE?
