Ok, I'll take a look. I am unfamiliar with the person so bear with me....jotting queries below: Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:30, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'd link civil liberties
    • Done.
  • Any other influences/inspirations that can be added to Early life section?
  • Shortly after joining the firm, he was assigned... - a bit repetitive as you've said "joined the law firm" in the sentence before. Maybe some dates here would be better than "Shortly after..", which is a little ambiguous.
  • Working under lead prosecutor Laurence Howard Eldredge and alongside assistant prosecutor Lemuel Braddock Schofield, Sawyer worked to convict Chief Magistrate John J. O'Malley of 206 counts of malfeasance in office, but he was found not guilty in two trials in 1948 and 1949 - a long sentence, which might be better split. also, you switch subjects in it, so the "he" (obviously O'Malley but grammatically Sawyer) doesn't quite fit right....
  • As a lawyer, Sawyer focused on civil litigation in corporate law, at which he was successful - was he 100% successful? Maybe another descriptor.."excelled/was very good at etc."
    • Done.
  • Another similar case was Deutch v. United States - a bit of a weak connecting sentence, could be made more exact I think...
    • Yes, done.
  • If you could expand the first para of Local politics - why they felt the way they did etc. Might be good.
  • Similarly the Civil rights advocacy section - adding colour/depth to the section would be good, if possible.
  • Earwig's copyvio is clear.
