==Politics and government==
==Political Patronage Debate==
In addition to drawing attention as a prominent litigator, Dorkey has also drawn attention to his governmental/civic activities, especially during the administrations of New York Governor George E. Pataki. Critics of political patronage, took issue with Dorkey’s influential appointments made by the Governor, amid political debates as to how to cure campaign abuses in New York. Dorkey had given more than $30,000 to state Republican politicians over the three years preceding Pataki’s election, and like some other lawyers with plum appointments as well as law firms with major bond work from the State, Dorkey was a focal point of attention as a donor benefiting from political contributions.<ref name="nyt1"/>
Dorkey told The New York Times, "I believe lawyers should be involved in the political process," adding, "If we are going to restrict lawyers in any way, the rule should apply to everybody."
Best Lawyers in America (2017) notes that “his governmental service and political work” have led to legal representations “at the intersection between private and public activity. Dorkey has been active and recognized in both the State and National Republican party for more than two decades. He interacts with high-profile politicians and has received awards for his service.<ref name="rnla">{{cite web |url=https://www.rnla.org/bio/BioDetail.asp?MemberID=7324 |title=Member Profile - Mr. Charles E.

She also has been a member of the board of directors of various not for profit organizations and community projects, including WNYC, and, New Yorkers for Children.[25][26]

Law and business

Born in New York City, Eolis began her career establishing an attorney placement desk right after graduation from New York University (B.A 1967, philosophy major). In 1969 she founded Eolis, Inc., the first placement and consulting firm strictly for "practicing lawyers."
