USC law prof joins Quinn Emanuel

By Jason Siegel

LOS ANGELES ? Susan Estrich, law and political science professor at the University of Southern California, will join Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges as of counsel in its Los Angeles office.

Estrich, who is a legal and political analyst for the Fox News Channel, was appointed to serve on the National Holocaust Council and Los Angeles' City Ethics Commission. A frequent opinion columnist, Estrich is the author of several books, including "Sex and Power" and, more recently, "The Case for Hillary Clinton."

She was the first woman president of the Harvard Law Review and, as the campaign manager of then-Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis' 1988 presidential bid, the first woman to head a national presidential campaign.

Estrich is a former Harvard colleague of Kathleen Sullivan, the former dean of Stanford Law School and a partner in the New York and Silicon Valley offices of Los Angeles-based Quinn Emanuel.
