Having graduated from Harvard Law School with academic honors in 1991, Mr. Obama joined a small Chicago law firm then known as Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard. He was a junior attorney and his work involved representing clients in civil rights and voting rights cases. He also worked on wrongful terminations (people who were unfairly fired from their jobs). He was part of a team, learning from more experienced lawyers. But at times, he did play an important role on his own. One of his biggest wins occurred in 1995, after he had filed a major law suit that forced Illinois to enforce the 1993 federal Motor Voter law; this law made it easier for people to register to vote. In addition to being an attorney, Mr. Obama was also an adjunct professor of law at the University of Chicago, where he taught courses in constitutional law.
