Talk:Bridget Mary McCormack

Edited article
I removed the claim that the subject began an "inncence project" as alleged, because it's wholly unsupported. the subject is merely a director of a law school clinical program. She lacks any notability whatsoever, notwithstanding the unsupported claim.--Yachtsman1 (talk) 02:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
