Adam Palmer's day job is working as policy counsel for .ORG, a public interest Internet domain registry based in Reston, Va. But his avocation is protecting children from Internet predators, and he travels around the world teaching other attorneys how to prosecute such cases.
That's why he volunteered to teach what he says is the only such law school course exclusively focused on the subject at the University of Mississippi eight months ago, Palmer explains on the Washington Post's WashBiz Blog. He and Richard Whidden, who directs the National Law Center for Children & Families, are working on a written manual for prosecutors that they hope to distribute in all 50 states.
"I now spend my weekends, evenings, and early mornings preparing my class syllabus and reviewing cases," Palmer writes, as a guest columnist talking about how he spends his work day. "If I'm lucky, I will get about five hours of sleep tonight before a busy day tomorrow."
