Pepperdine Law Prof Is New Ambassador to Malta
A conservative Pepperdine University law professor who supported Barack Obama during the presidential campaign has a new job as ambassador to Malta.
Professor Douglas Kmiec won confirmation Aug. 7, the National Law Journal reports. The island nation off the coast of Sicily is a good fit for the professor, according to the story. The nation’s official religion is Catholicism, and Kmiec, an abortion opponent, is the former dean of Catholic University law school.
