Jamie Mills spent a significant amount of her career as a busy litigator in a solo employment practice, but she still found time for pro bono efforts dedicated to creating programs that protect women and children from violence.

Now Mills can devote all of her time to advocacy, as the new senior advisor for policy analysis for the state Office of Policy and Management. In the newly created position, Mills will serve as a liaison for social researchers and lawmakers, helping to organize statistical analysis projects and surveys for legislative purposes.
