Drumroll please, Elaine Kaplan, currently senior deputy general counsel at the National Treasury Employees Union, and formerly head of of the Office of Special Counsel under President Clinton. I have a weird feeling that the government's lawsuit defending the Federal Career Intern Program might disappear. According to court papers, Kaplan argued NTEU's amicus curiae brief in Gingery v. Department of Defense, making the case against FCIP. I'll have a story on this later in the afternoon.
