Happy to take a look. Feel free to ignore me if and when I stray beyond what the criteria require.

  • She worked in the Office of the Solicitor General until 2009, when she joined Arnold & Porter. – the source ([1]) says there was a brief interregnum: "Blatt left the solicitor general's office in May 2009 and since then has served as an antitrust litigation consultant to the Federal Trade Commission. She argued on behalf of the commission in Federal Trade Commission v. Cephalon Inc., a still-pending case that aims to stop a brand-name drugmaker from paying generic competitors to stay out of the market."

Everything seems to be in good shape. More later. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 10:32, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much. Initial responses until I'm available later. SilverLocust 💬 19:01, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alrighty, let's wrap this up:

  • In 1993, she moved... et seq.: the prose is a bit choppy here (lots of short sentences starting with "she")
  • distinctively blunt and informal style of speaking in court: it would be fundamentally wrong in several respects not to include an example here (whichever one you like)
  • The court of appeals held that public schools...: something like "the court of appeals had previously held" might make the chronology clearer.
  • Maybe include a page range for the Kavanaugh hearing transcript (ref. 25): a 1689-page PDF is a tad daunting.
  • I would just leave out her children's names; they don't really add anything, and "the presumption in favor of privacy is strong".

I think that's all, although I'll give it a final read-through once you're done. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 09:53, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done all. SilverLocust 💬 19:20, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... that Lisa Blatt is the first woman to argue 50 cases in the US Supreme Court—over 80% of them wins—and that she "elicits laughs and the occasional sharp response from the justices"?
  • Reviewed:

  • Article has achieved Good Article status. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. Hook is interesting and sourced. QPQ is not needed as the nominator has fewer than 5 nominations. Looks ready to go. Thriley (talk) 19:45, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
IMO Hook may be too long at 185 characters DimensionalFusion (talk ▪ she/her)
