Specifically in maritime law from what Ive read about her.

Doesnt a background in LA and Maritime law represent a very obscure nitche to pull a nominee from?

Does she have any kind of a record on open source/culture issues?

Also, doesnt Louisianna differ greatly from most common law as an offshoot of French law? I remember reading something about that years ago.

Any light someone can shed on these issues would be much appreciated.

Thanks
