"Young, Female, Energetic and, Now, Dean"

"Young, Female, Energetic and, Now, Dean": An article that appears in today's Long Island supplement to The New York Times begins, "Nora Demleitner has never been afraid to take chances. At the age of 19, she left her home in Germany to attend college in the United States, following her dream of becoming a lawyer like her childhood TV idol, Perry Mason. Since then her path has included a degree from Yale Law School, a master's degree in international and comparative law from the Georgetown University Law Center, and a clerkship for Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., then sitting on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and now a Supreme Court justice."
