	Re:	Judicial Appointments Transition Team  

Dear Eric:

	It was a pleasure to see you again at the National Bar
Association's 83rd Annual Convention in Houston, Texas.  Congratulations
on the well-deserved Thirtieth Annual Equal Justice Award.  Pursuant to
your request, I have attached my curriculum vitae and biographical
summary.  I seek appointment to a position on U.S. Senator Barack
Obama's Presidential Transition Team.  As both Chief Counsel Michael A.
Strautmanis and Professor Charles Ogletree have suggested, I can serve
very effectively in the area of judicial appointments because of my
extensive expertise and experience.  
 
	After participating in the historic Democratic Convention in
Denver, Colorado, I am even more committed to the election of U.S.
Senator Barack Obama. I am working with Alix DeJean, Director of
the DNC's African American Leadership Counsel, National Finance
Committee member Dr. Jean Bailey, and Counsel for Change National
Volunteer Coordinator Michael Ng. 

	As my attached curriculum vitae and biographical summary
evidence, I have an outstanding and substantial record of professional
accomplishments and managerial experience.  Currently, I am an Associate
Dean at the George Washington University Law School.  	
	
	Furthermore, I serve as the Chair of the National Bar
Association's Standing Committee on Judicial Selection.  I have held
this position with great distinction since 2004, under six NBA
presidents.  As a consequence, I have received several Presidential
Awards, including the National Bar Association's highest honor, the C.
Francis Stradford Award.  

	I have obtained results and have well established contacts with
the crucial decision-makers in the U.S. Congress, State offices, and
national grassroots organizations.  I have successfully vetted nominees,
conducted extensive 	investigations of nominees, prepared nominees
for White House, Congressional, and Justice Department interviews,
prepared nominees and witnesses for Confirmation Hearings, and assisted
in achieving successful confirmations.  I am currently writing an
article on the judicial confirmation process 	entitled: Federal
Appointments at the Crossroads.  Therefore, I have expertise in all
aspects of judicial nominations.  
	
	Moreover, I can serve effectively in other transition and
administrative positions as well.  As you know, I have served as Chief
Counsel/ Chief of Staff to the Immediate Past NBA President.  As such, I
held 	the highest ranking, appointed position in the Association.
This position gave me unique, extraordinary and enormous
responsibilities managing the president-elect transition and
Presidential Staff.  I traveled extensively with the NBA President. 

	For the foregoing reasons, I am confident that I can well serve
the next President.  I look forward to hearing from you as soon as
possible.  I will call you in the next few days.  In the meantime, I
will continue my work for the campaign.  
							    Sincerely,
	Alfreda
	Alfreda Robinson
