two leading candidates in the vote, which will take place in Springfield over

work experience, job-related professional certifications, and job-related
professional licenses.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As
someone who has worked for newspapers for years — and not just the Catholic
press — I can tell you that pro-life journalists and those who harbor a more
traditional, religious viewpoint are rare in most secular media outlets.
There’s a silent assumption that opponents of gay marriage are ignorant bigots.
The insistence to promote the LGBTQIA ideology is unassailable as editors fret
over preferred pronouns and ignore the beliefs of millions of Americans. Who
gets interviewed, what gets asked, what’s included and what gets edited out each
pass through this biased lens, yielding a myopic, unbalanced view.)

CIVIL JURY PROJECT
— The Long Shadow of the Civil Jury – Anna Offit (DIERSEN: How much jury
appeal do you have? From what I see, ever-increasingly, the more of the

likely that you will lose in court: Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative,
Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owner, German American,
draft avoider, past/present union member, past/present government employee,
government retiree, non-dog owner, childless, and/or if your ancestors have
been in America for a long time.)
https://civiljuryproject.law.nyu.edu/the-long-shadow-of-the-civil-jury/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Others more explicitly ascribed justice considerations to hypothetical lay
decision-makers through references to the “jury appeal” of their cases. In some
prosecutors’ formulations, jury appeal assessments were likened to asking, “If
I were a juror, what would I think?”— or a practice of weighing whether a
“hypothetical juror would feel the case should not be prosecuted even if it
legally could be.” To this end, talk of jury appeal allowed sources of concern
or ambivalence to be discussed from a position of detachment. In some instances
jury appeal was cited in decisions to modify investigations or decline cases
altogether.)

Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40?)
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/recent-eeoc-enforcement-activity-58297/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Since
the start of fiscal year 2020 (October 1, 2019-September 30, 2020), the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission has recovered more than $25 million in
monetary relief and secured substantial equitable remedies from employers
accused of engaging in unlawful race- and sex-based discrimination and
harassment. In fiscal year 2018, the most recent period for which detailed
enforcement data is available, the EEOC collected a total of $134 million on
behalf of workplace harassment victims alone. While harassing conduct of a
sexual nature is perhaps the most well-known form of workplace harassment,
especially in light of the global #MeToo movement, it is far from the only kind
that may expose an employer to significant risk of legal liability. According
to the EEOC, more than 30% of the charges it receives each year include claims
of unlawful harassment based on sex, race, disability, age, national origin,
and religion (in that order).)
