Danielle Sassoon
- ... that Danielle Sassoon, a former acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, credits her study of the Talmud as preparing her for her future legal career?
- Source: Sources: February 12, 2025, New York Times article: "An Ambitious Prosecutor Quits Rather Than Do Trump’s Bidding; Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s interim U.S. attorney, built a life on conservative values and amassed a daunting resume. On Thursday, she took a stand against the Justice Department where she had made her career. " "In high school, she spent hours each day studying the Talmud, an effort that she has said prepared her to study law." and December 22, 2020, video at 21:01: "Alumni in Conversation: Clerking for the Supreme Court." "When I interviewed for the clerkship with Justice Scala ... among the things he asked me was ' What prepared you to do well in law school; what sparked your interest in the law?', and what came to mind and what I said was 'in high school I studied Talmud for hours every day, and that process of engaging in really what's a form of the Socratic method, which is how they teach law school, and also spending days unpacking the meaning of a single word or a single line, prepared me for analyzing the law in a similar way,' and in a vein that was very appealing to Justice Scalia ...."

- I like it for emphasizing Sassoon's commitment to textualism! I edited the hook to insert the article "a" before her title, which I figured was minor enough to avoid proposing an Alt0b hook. I also want to note that while I was a major contributor to this article, it was Lhimec who wrote its initial content at Danielle R. Sassoon. Following WP:MIDDLENAME, I moved it to the current article title. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 00:06, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'm gonna review this article shortly. I just wanted to note that I added Lhimec as a nominator per the previous page history of Danielle Renee Sassoon. Epicgenius (talk) 15:04, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Overall: ViridianPenguin, 2603:7000:2101:aa00:51b2:b05d:42f:c638, Lhimec, and Schwede66: Nice work on this article/nomination. I'm pinging you all (except 2603, who unfortunately cannot be pinged due to technical limitations) because it seems like there may be a few other major contributors to this article who aren't listed here, and I wanted to know whether you're okay with adding them as co-noms.

- Please go ahead with adding other contributors. I did not notice that the redirect had an edit history. Schwede66 15:32, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, I have added two other editors to this nomination. I also have a question for 2603 specifically—is Special:Contributions/2603:7000:2101:AA00:C032:8598:6C1E:51E4 you? If not, I will add that IP address as a co-nominator as well. Epicgenius (talk) 16:33, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yes. I have a dynamic IP. Thank you.2603:7000:2101:AA00:981F:47ED:5A20:6E76 (talk) 09:31, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
