Dobby Walker
Doris Brin "Dobby" Walker Roberson (April 20, 1919〔 - August 13, 2009〔(Legendary National Lawyers Guild Attorney Doris Brin Walker Dies ) National Lawyers Guild〕) was an American labor lawyer and founding partner with Robert Treuhaft at the firm of Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein.
==Background==
Born in Dallas, Texas, in 1919, Walker graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California, Los Angeles, and went on to UC Berkeley's law school, Boalt Hall. She joined the Communist Party USA whilst at UCLA in the late 1930s.〔''San Francisco Chronicle'', 19 August 2009, (Doris Walker - fought to acquit Angela Davis )〕 The only woman in her class, Walker graduated from Boalt Hall in 1942.〔National Lawyers Guild, (Doris Brin Walker ), accessed 19 August 2009〕〔National Lawyers Guild, 17 August 2009, (Legendary National Lawyers Guild Attorney Doris Brin Walker Dies )〕
Walker was close friends with the writer Jessica Mitford for years; Jessica was married to Robert Treuhaft, Doris’ law partner. Doris invited Jessica and her husband to join the Communist Party, prompting the latter to reply "We thought you’d never ask!"〔〔''The Guardian'', 19 November 2001, (Robert Treuhaft )〕 There have been articles speculating that author J.K. Rowling, who considers Mitford her heroine, named her Harry Potter character Dobby the house elf after encountering the name Dobby in Mitford's works.〔(Is Dobby a Communist? ) HP-Lexicon〕〔''Metro Santa Cruz'', 23 May 2007, (Readers Of the World, Unite )〕
Walker was widowed in 1951, and remarried in 1952, thereby acquiring the additional surname "Roberson".〔House Un-American Activities Committee, 83rd Congress, First Session, December 4, 1953, (Investigation of Communist activities in the San Francisco area. Hearing )〕
