Jack Smith

Jack Smith is fascinating to me precisely because prosecutors rarely become household names, yet his career path is extraordinary. Working through the Justice Department as an assistant and acting U.S. attorney, then leading the Public Integrity Section, is already a serious resume. But it's his role as chief prosecutor at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague, investigating war crimes from the Kosovo War, that genuinely impresses me. That's high-stakes, internationally scrutinized work. I tend to admire people who choose the difficult, unglamorous lane of accountability. Whatever one's politics, the sheer breadth from domestic corruption cases to an international tribunal speaks to real legal heft.
