She was? Whats her legal background? ..What cases has she been a part of and won? she helped keep Bill out of jail that's defiantly an accomplishment
Any way you want to cut it, being Secretary of State is quite an accomplishment. And whatever you think of Hillary, she was Secretary of State. The top 100 lawyers is one of those Times lists and generally those included on it are not there because of anything they did as lawyers, but rather because they have a law degree but became 'top lawyer' because they got elected to something else of prominence. Mitt Romey and Marco Rubio, for instance, are on the most recent list right up there with Hillary but not because of anything they did as lawyers.
But as a lawyer, Hillary doesn't have much to show for that. Her old employer, the Rose Law Firm, apparently doesn't even include her in their history at all. She got that lucrative job because Bill was in a high level government position in Arkansas. She was apparently not given a whole lot to do there.
