Well, according to Tradingmarkets.com

--Quote--
Wolin will work in the White House as deputy counsel to the president for economic policy and as a deputy assistant to the president.
--/quote--

and it quotes Wolin to say

--Quote--
"I'll be working on the full range of economic issues before us, and getting the American economy back on track, which includes issues related to the recovery, housing issues and regulatory issues," Wolin told BestWire. "I think the president and his senior advisers have outlined a series of steps, about where we are and where we need to go."

Whatever the Counsel to the President for Economic Policy tells him to!

No, sounds like, just to supplement the above, he's one of many lawyers who make up the president's "in-house law firm," as ABC News puts it.

Wolin served under Clinton, as many of the latest appointees have...either Clinton or under a Supreme Court justice, so Obama is seemingly surrounding himself with folks who have experience, which I think is important since he's got a little less experience than perhaps most incoming presidents...
