Constitutional law professor Viet Dinh talks about his journey from
refugee to U.S. legal scholar
October 17, 2000

(CNN) -- In an online interview with CNN Legal Analyst Greta Van
Susteren,Georgetown University law professor Viet Dinh talks about his
family's escape from Vietnam, his experience as a refugee, and the road
that took him from working in sewing shops to graduating magna cum laude
from Harvard Law School.

"When I interviewed with Justice O'Connor, whom I clerked for, she asked
me whether I could work hard, because that is one of the prerequisites for
being a Supreme Court clerk," he says.

"Well, I laughed at the question... it seemed so funny to me because what
I consider we as lawyers and legal scholars do as not work. Really, to
read, think and write is a pleasure and a service, rather than real work,
which is getting one's hands dirty and trying to earn a living and
survive."
