variety of experiences, although she focused on labor law. She and another associate litigated a multimillion dollar class action civil rights suit in which they represented the defendant, a county accused of discriminatory hiring and promotion practices. Because the co.unty unfortunately had a history of racial tension the resultant emotional battle emphasized in the press put the defense at a disadvantage. Nevertheless, Ms. Malone and her colleague won the case. After three and a half years in Washington, Ms. Malone took time off to have a son and then moved back to the Boston area where she and her husband have their families. Her time, when not teaching here or grading an endless stream of papers, is spent on newly acquired domestic activities, such as taking care of her new home and planting a vegetable garden ("Can't have a garden on the fourth floor," she says of the days in Washington). She also plays tennis and "will read anything I can get my hands on," to the detriment of household ·duties (but not of those memos, of course!)
