WASHINGTON — The list of 24 lawyers that President Barack Obama has tapped to staff his Office of the White House Counsel reads like a roster from an elite law boutique.
Six of the lawyers graduated from Harvard Law, eight are Yale Law alums, and 10 were once Supreme Court clerks. They’ve served in senior positions on Capitol Hill and across the federal agencies, and they’ve earned their private-practice stripes at firms such as Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, and Latham & Watkins. At the helm of the office is White House counsel Gregory Craig, who has spent the past three decades at Williams & Connolly and has suspended his practice twice to serve on the Hill and in the Clinton administration.
