She also worked closely with experts and witnesses, readied cases for trial, and investigated instances of reported wrongdoing.
After leaving her law firm, Ms. Mueller worked as a freelance policy writer "translating" important policy issues for a wide range of audiences. Her work included op-eds, web pages, and white papers on topics such as health care reform, gun control, and immigration. In the fall of 2008, she also helped organize the Obama campaign's voter protection effort in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
Prior to joining Wilmer, Ms. Mueller clerked for Judge Warren J. Ferguson on the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and interned at the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights. In 1998 she was a Harvard Human Rights Fellow at the South African National Youth Commission, where she worked with a team researching and drafting a green paper on a South African National Youth Service Program.
