The following excerpt announcement was sent out by The Washington Post’s local editor Mike Semel, deputy local editor Maria Glod and criminal justice editor Lynh Bui:
We are thrilled to announce that Rachel Weiner will cover legal affairs in the Washington region, including the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit.
Rachel has a talent for untangling complex legal cases and arguments in a reader-friendly way and finding tales in dense court files.
While covering federal court in Virginia, Rachel also reported on local police and courts in Arlington and Alexandria, a job she held previously. Before that, she covered politics in Virginia and worked with The Fix.
Please join us in congratulating Rachel on her new role.
