Alexander Rundlet, a litigation attorney with Podhurst Orseck, was elected treasurer of the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. Bar Association, which is also known as the Black Lawyers Association.

Rundlet earned an undergraduate degree in history from Dartmouth College in 1992 and a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1999. He went on to serve as a law clerk to U.S. District Judge Andre M. Davis in the District of Maryland.
Before joining Podhurst Orseck, Rundlet worked as an assistant public defender for the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida in Miami-Dade County.

He has also been admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the Northern District of Georgia, the District of Maryland, and the U.S. Courts of Appeal for the 11th and Fourth Circuits.

"It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them." |
 | What is the greatest threat facing us now?
"People will say it's terrorism. But are there any terrorists in the world who can change the American way of life or our political system? No. Can they knock down a building? Yes. Can they kill somebody? Yes. But can they change us? No. Only we can change ourselves. So what is the great threat we are facing? I would approach this differently, in almost Marshall-like terms. What are the great opportunities out there - ones that we can take advantage of?" Read more. |
