She developed an attorney training and mentoring program that now serves as a national model, her office said."[1] References1. ^1 {{cite news | title=Michigan U.S. attorney announces resignation | date=March 27, 2007 | publisher=AP | url=http://www.buffalolawjournal.com/article_view.asp?IDNO=31200719 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070312085425/http://www.buffalolawjournal.com/article_view.asp?IDNO=31200719 | archivedate=March 12, 2007 | df= }} 2. ^[https://www.nytimes.com] | FEB. 24, 2007 | Eighth U.S. Attorney Dismissed From Post | DAVID JOHNSTON | [https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/24/washington/24attorney.html] 3. ^{{cite web|accessdate=2007-03-23|author=Lipton, Eric |work=New York Times |date=March 23, 2007 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/23/washington/23chiara.html?ref=washington&pagewanted=print|title=U.S. Attorney in Michigan Disputes Reason for Removal}} External links
