: Law Blog - WSJ.comObama Appoints Georgetown Law Prof to Lead Auto-Industry Transition
By Dan Slater
To extend the bailout to the auto industry or not? That’s the mostly non-legal question that lawmakers will soon address. Yesterday, Democratic leaders said they’ll push legislation to use the $700 billion rescue fund to bail out Detroit. Meanwhile, President-elect Obama ordered his transition team to look at ways to aid the car industry.
Who might Obama get to lead such an effort? One of our very own: Georgetown law prof Dan Tarullo, a top Obama adviser on trade, has been appointed to lead the auto-company transition efforts, reports the WSJ. Obama aides said Tarullo (Georgetown, Michigan Law) is one of a number of advisers assigned to the issue. Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (UC-Berkeley, Harvard Law) and former Michigan Rep. David Bonior (not a lawyer) have been given prominent seats at the table.
From 1995 to 1998, Tarullo, who teaches international law at Georgetown, was President Clinton’s personal representative to the G7/G8 group of industrialized nations. From 1981-1987 he taught at Harvard Law School. (Obama began Harvard law in 1988.)
