Additions for Lifetime Achievements
This information should be added to Patricia Wald's lifetime biography:

Patricia Wald spent her childhood in a small factory town in Connecticut where her single mother raised her. Wald's family members were factory workers who didn't go to college and before she began her university education, Wald worked in the factories as well. She was a large proponent for the labor movement that was taking place at this time in the 1930's[1]

Patricia Wald was appointed as the Assistant Attorney General for legislative affairs by Jimmy carter in 1977[1]

Wald became a major proponent in helping developing Eastern European democracies in the early 1990s while heavily involved with the American Bar Association Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative. During this time she was in charge of monitoring institutional leading up to elections to ensure they were democratic. She also was involved in making sure that proposed constitutions and legislation were conducive to democratic ideals.[1]

One of Wald's most prestigious achievements was being part of a three judge panel that produced the first verdict of genocide. This case was known as the Krisrić case. This case was a result of the massacre of 8000 men and boys in the Srebrenica enclave. The case also convicted criminals for rape crimes and against women in their separation from men. Wald and the panel of judges set a precedent in this case that crimes such as genocide and rape are punishable under the law.[1]

Standardisation oof references
I've been asked to standardise the references on this article, so unless anyone objects I'll start work in a day or so. If you have any questions please let me know. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 22:09, 21 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I've finished converting all the refs. Where I was able I've found page numbers, and timestamps for the C-SPAN interview. There are a couple of issues I spotted. First in Early Life is says Wald's father was an alcoholic, which seems to be true, but isn't attested to in either of the current refs. Second in the D.C. Circuit section the first sentence is referenced to Slotnick 1983, but neither Wald or "92 Stat. 1629" are mentioned in that paper. It does verify the second sentence about Carter's policies though. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:12, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redoing the ping, as the last one probably failed. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:57, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry for posting multiple times. I meant to say I left the original Bibliography section separate from the Works cited section. None of the cites in the Bibliography section are being used by referencing, but I thought you might use them as you overhaul the article. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 15:07, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much ! I'll put in the necessary ref placements where missing. GuardianH (talk) 22:16, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Anytime, let me know if you need anything else. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 22:21, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
