Remus, a partner at Covington & Burling, is a Yale Law graduate with a diverse résumé, including a clerkship to conservative Justice Samuel Alito.

They say they are prepared to respond to any efforts to intimidate voters and election workers, including physical unrest on Election Day or during state vote counts afterward. 

Other heavy hitters in the Harris camp include two lawyers who served as U.S. solicitor general: Seth Waxman, who has argued more than 80 cases at the Supreme Court; and Donald Verrilli, who successfully defended the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act in a landmark 2012 case. …
