to? How do you get in?
Justice Warren would pick me, which he did.
Business Litigation, Intellectual Property Litigation (Warren Burger 1983-84): I didn’t apply to Rehnquist. He was just too philosophically opposite to me. Burger was also conservative, but more centrist.
to persuasion on many issues.
Mark Haddad, Sidley Austin; Appellate (William J. Brennan 1986-87): I first applied to Brennan. He was taking applications earlier than the other justices. When I was in law school, he was already a legend.
Kelly Klaus, Munger, Tolles & Olson; Intellectual Property Litigation, Appellate (Anthony Kennedy 1995-96): It’s obviously an intimidating experience, but Justice Kennedy was a very warm, gracious man from the outset. For a half hour, he asked me about law school, judges I’d clerked for, and the like.
