The very fact that you have to question how the choice was made should worry you, it should worry all of us.
I think it's pretty clear from the memo Redford signed, how the decision was made .... she was given 3 choices and choose the firm ex is a partner at.

Now, were any laws broken? Likely not. But the moment she saw her ex's firm was one of the three she should have (IMHO) taken a step back and asked the committee to make the decision.
