Camille Andrews threatens to sue anyone who says anything mean about her

Rutgers-Camden is playing the role of Secretariat at the Belmont in this year's Most Preposterous Law School derby:

When New Jersey Rep. Rob Andrews used campaign funds to pay for a family trip to Scotland, an unusual compliance officer signed off: his wife.

Camille Andrews, a lawyer and associate dean at the Rutgers-Camden law school, also oversees legal questions about Andrews' political spending.

So when the Democratic congressman decided in 2011 that the couple and their two daughters should fly to Edinburgh and stay in a five-star hotel for a wedding, he relied on her judgment that they could use campaign accounts to cover the $30,115 tab, according to statements in a recently unveiled ethics investigation.
You may remember Dean Andrews and Rutgers-Camden from such emails and press releases as  "many [of our 2011 graduates] accepted positions with firms paying in excess of $130,000,"  ["many" in this context turned out to be a term of art meaning "one"] and "we understated our graduates' debt levels by a factor of three while claiming to be one of the biggest bargains in legal education."

Now Andrews has dusted off her Con Law casebook, and skimmed New York Times v. Sullivan, so she could bluster to the Philadelphia Inquirer that she's not kidding around about protecting her professional reputation, such as it is:

The wedding was for a onetime political operative Rob Andrews said he hoped to recruit to help in campaigns, so he has argued that the expenses were tied to his political work.

Details of Camille Andrews' role emerged in a 244-page report from the Office of Congressional Ethics, a nonpartisan board that reviews ethics complaints and sends potential violations to the House ethics committee.
 Testimony in the report, released Aug. 31, offers a revealing glimpse of the 22-year congressman, highlighting his hopes to expand his influence in the House and his reliance on a small circle of advisers, including his wife.

The trip to Edinburgh, a bustling city that blends ancient spires and an imposing castle with modern shopping and restaurants, drew the most attention from the ethics board.

Andrews, 55, decides which events to attend, he told Office of Congressional Ethics investigators. His wife determines whether campaign funds can pay for them.

That pattern held for the Scotland trip. Andrews told investigators he was "perfectly comfortable and confident" in his wife's judgment.

"Camille serves as our compliance officer. . . . She is one of the three best lawyers I know - maybe five," he said in a 57-minute interview with the board March 6.

"I made an evaluation and decision that I thought it was an appropriate expenditure," Camille Andrews said in her meeting with the board.

She was referring to the $16,575 in flights to Scotland paid for by the congressman's leadership fund.
The rest came from Andrews' campaign account, which is used for a range of expenses as varied as $2.50 for cafeteria coffee to $1,123 in Tiffany's purchases. Rob Andrews told investigators that the Tiffany's items were not personal purchases and were likely gifts for a campaign donor or volunteer.

Other members of Congress have used spouses as compliance officers, said Craig Holman, government affairs lobbyist for Public Citizen.

"It is a conflict of interest, and it lacks all credibility," he said . . .

Camille Andrews wrote that her husband's responses to questions about this article "reflect my position."

"I am not a public figure," she wrote. "I will respond to any reports or comments that disparage me or portray me deliberately in a false professional light by pursuing appropriate legal recourse."
 I wonder what Camille Andrews teaches at Rutgers-Camden? Hmmm . . . let's see . . . ah yes.

There are days when the jokes just write themselves.

  1. Does anyone know or is there anyway we can find out the average numbers of employers that show up at OCI (at any given University). I requested this information from the University of Florida since there Web Site says that they have hundreds of employers show up on campus. I personally know that is not the case in recent years. They stated they kept records of the employers who attended but refuse to give this information out. Are all Law Schools deceiving their future students with this misleading information?

    2. Yes.

      Employers participating in on campus interviews are listed on NALP Directory, linked below.

      Note, if a single employer, say DLA Piper, recruits for several of its offices, it will appear multiple times, so these numbers are overstated. These numbers should be considered in terms of each descrete employers.

  2. A law school dean at a public institution who is frequently quoted in the media, and serves as a compliance officer for her congressman hubby, thinks she is not a public person? That's delusional thinking right there.

  3. Camille Andrews' claim that she "is not a public figure" seems wrong; she's pretty clearly a limited-purpose public figure for purposes of legal education at Rutgers-Camden, having chosen to insert herself publicly into these various controversies and having taken advantage of the media in order to further her arguments.

    According to Law School Numbers, a total of 91 total law firms participated in OCI at Camden for 2007-2008. Of this amount, only 5 New York firms took part in this ritual. That is beyond pathetic for a law school with that proximity. Furthermore, 5 DC firms and 4 California firms had presence. What a great in$TTiTTuTTion, huh?!?!

    Let's face it, this is just another example of what happens when society has too many lawyers. They ensconce themselves in positions of power and then use their legal "skills" to abuse it. Enough of these people and then society just collapses. Thank God the number of lawyers is finally going to decrease.

    So what, the law schools played around with figures a little to get you people to shell out some $$$. You'd all have done the same. You can't say you've been scammed when you think just like them.

    4. I did go to law school and was employed in many different sectors of our illustrious vocation and some of what the OP states is true. Most students were either vicious little twerps who would be doing what the OP says given the chance and the other half were hypocritical clueless do-gooders concerned with the underclass while Rome burned under their noses.

      Does anyone deserve to go through a lifetime of debt to pay for their sins? No. But there is a reason that even the supposed bleeding heart liberal profs turn their heads away from all the suffering they profit from. This vocation is filled with snakes and is a stinkhole, top to bottom.

    From Wikipedia:

    Camille Andrews won the Democratic primary for her husband's seat in the House, but Rob Andrews was beaten by Lautenberg in the Senate primary. After losing to Lautenberg, Rob Andrews decided to run for re-election to his House seat; Camille withdrew her candidacy on September 3, and Rob Andrews announced that on September 4 that he would take her place as the Democratic candidate. He maintained that his wife had not been merely a placeholder candidate and said that he had only decided to run for re-election a week before he announced it; according to Andrews, his change of heart was a result of personal reflection.

  16. Funny that Congressman Andrews tries to brazen it out by describing wifey as among the top three to five lawyers he has known. He is too modest on her behalf. He ought to describe her as the best damn compliance officer he has ever slept with.

    Free or funded vacations--it makes me think about the summer stipend/ academic conference racket, the loss of which is currently the source of much whining by the spoiled rotten faculty at St. Louis University Law School.

    Is it the dean who gets to oversee the distribution of stipends for purposes of faculty attendance and presentations at summer"roundtables," "symposiums,""colloquiums"
    and annual meetings of the Society for Law and Nonesuch? Maybe that is where Camille honed her compliance skills.

    If I were a law professor, I would be upset if I never got a funded trip to Scotland. Take the sad case of this long-suffering young prodigy, Sturm Professor Nancy Leong, JD 2006, (co-author of real honest-to-god amicus briefs!), who has been forced to ply her intellectual wares in such venues as Honolulu, Hilton Head, and Amelia Island.

    4. 4:17:

      Nancy Leong's practice experience is limited to one year of federal judicial clerking, plus a short spell co-authoring amicus briefs for a do-gooder organization. Nonetheless, this comely young narcissist has a very inflated opinion of the impact on our profession produced by her own scholarship and the scholarship of her fellow junior faculty at Sturm. Nancy says:

      "[O]ur scholarly work has been cited by multiple district and circuit courts; it has prompted practicing lawyers to contact us for input and assistance; it has caused journalists to consult with us in writing pieces for general audiences; it has informed amicus briefs; it has provoked novel legal arguments in state and federal court; it has been cited in treatises and excerpted in casebooks; it has been included in materials for CLE classes; it has shaped the practices of admission committees at multiple law schools; and it has influenced the policies of student-edited law reviews."

      My response:

      The pronoun "our" generally includes the declarant, does it not? However, your scholarly work, Nancy Leong, has never been cited in any published district or circuit court decision. Moreover, the vast majority of practicing lawyers have never contacted a law professor for assistance, let alone for "novel arguments." Law is a learn-by-doing profession and it is a sad fact that many law professors have meager practice experience or none at all, and would not know a courtroom from a faculty lounge. You can be proud of your amicus briefs, if you wish, but your clerkship should have taught you this: reviewing courts consider "amicus" to be latin for "please deposit in the nearest recycle bin."

    A (Baby Boomer) partner of my Engineering Firm was talking to us about an town approval meeting he had with a client. He made the following comment - "...their lawyer didn't seem disappointed. I feel like lawyers root for the town to delay the meeting - We [Engineers] have a piece in it [our design that got shot down/delayed], Lawyers on the other hand get to bill another $275/hr for more preparation and meetings"

    Just an anecdote on how Lawyers are viewed by other professional services. Besides, this partner of my firm only bills at $200/hr, and my time as a Project Engineer [Associate] is only $75/hr.

If there was ever a doubt about how corrupt this "noble profession" is, you should read that entry, which exposes the marriage between a quasi-Ponzi scheme and a law school dean who teaches ethics. I wonder if this Dean thought it was ethical to engage in a clear conflict of interest between being a Dean of a law school on one hand and on the other being a director of a pre-paid legal services scheme which undercuts and works against the interests of recent law grads.

  26. This is 11:43 here. I'm having trouble with the reply button on my browser, so I'll answer here. No, I'm not any of the options you people listed. I'm just someone who has dealt with lawyers, and seen the trail of ooze they leave wherever they go. They freely admit they'll try to win lawsuits and cases whenever they can, without regard to whether they're in the right or not. They use excuses like "everyone deserves representation" and so on.

    I'm sure given the job search desperation you see here most of you would take anything you can get. Defending a child molester? Not a problem if it would help you pay back your student loans. Hell, I bet if your law schools decided to offer you well-paying jobs in their legal division you'd stop your whining and complaining and say Yes! I'm here!

    @5:01 "What exactly are you trying to achieve with your comments? Please explain. I'm willing to give you a benefit of the doubt but you seem like a bitter troll who just hates everyone." I might be a troll, but I'm not particularly bitter. I just don't like lawyers. And I think you people should stop blaming the law schools for acting like lawyers. What did you expect?

    1. "And I think you people should stop blaming the law schools for acting like lawyers. What did you expect?"

      For law schools and those that run them to act like the *ethical* lawyers they purport to be and train their students to be. Everything you write seems to essentially say "so what if law schools [blatantly lie, commit fraud, steal money from taxpayers, etc.] - that's what lawyers do!" Well, maybe it is what some lawyers do, and that's one of the reasons I'm glad to see this profession rapidly shrinking and modern legal education derailing. But if you really think this is all just the way it goes and that's the end of it and everyone should stop talking about, you're as ethically reprehensible as the scum attorneys you despise.

      Also, 5:01 said s/he works in biglaw and has no debt, so IBR is unecessary. Some of us "won" the law school gamble and pay our loans in full instead of handing them off to taxpayers, but still want to see this scam exposed for what it is and ended.

      - Should law grads with jobs who are contributing something also shut up about the law school scam?

      By all means, after you.

    4. Perhaps you might benefit from a superficial reading of the US constitution. We have things like the right to a trial by jury, right to confront witnesses, etc.

      Perhaps you would like to see those rights taken away?

      You do realize that being accused of a crime is a far way from being guilty of one.

  30. @9:52 No, not everyone who is screwed by lawyers, just those who enjoy screwing others over. And so few of the whiners are actually contributing anything it doesn't really matter if that very small group stops whining about the "scam" or not.

    @4:48AM Well, then why don't you take that attitude towards the law schools. This whole blog is basically one big attack on the law schools which doesn't really give them a chance to defend themselves. 100 of you vs whoever occasionally puts in a comment in their defense. Clearly you've convicted the law schools without a trial, the charge being fraud based on employment statistics on a website, and the desired penalty being death.

    2. Speaking of people contributing nothing, you are very obviously a law professor. In your warped mind, law grads should keep quiet about being screwed over by law schools, because law grads are lawyers who enjoy screwing people over. Yet apparently it's an injustice that law schools don't have a large enough voice to combat law grads, even though law schools are made up of lawyers who enjoy screwing people over.

      Law schools have all the opportunity they like to defend themselves, here or elsewhere. But they don't because they can't, and law professors have resolved to anonymously trolling a few blogs, repeating the same drivel over and over.

      But OMG this blog is so mean and unfair to them!!
