Despite the Biglaw focus of Above the Law, it's almost strange to refer to George J. Mitchell as merely the former chair of international law firm DLA Piper. While absolutely accurate, Mitchell is also a former senator from Maine, a former Democratic Senate Majority Leader, a former special adviser and US Special Envoy for Northern Ireland, a key negotiator of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, a former Special Envoy to the Middle East, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
