March 21, 2008

The White House announced this afternoon that the president intends to nominate Alabama attorney Constance Barker to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If confirmed, she would fill the remainder of a five-year term through June 2011.
Barker is with Capell & Howard law firm in Montgomery and previously was general counsel for the Mobile County Board of Education and is a former prosecutor. She received her bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame and her law degree from the University of Alabama in 1977.
This is from her firm's bio: "She represents a broad cross-section of commercial, manufacturing, retail and professional firms. Her clients include manufacturing plants, retail businesses, medical groups, physicians, real estate development and investment firms, and an architectural and engineering firm. Her efforts are equally focused on the prevention of discrimination claims and the defense of lawsuits. She works closely with corporate clients to guide their decision-making process through the mine fields of potential discrimination liability."
