Levy’s latest gem is a March 3 Twitter thread about Justice William Brennan Jr. and how he finally agreed to hire a female law clerk after years of favoring male clerks only. Levy drew readers in with this introduction: “My heart is wide open for this story tonight … It’s about how Justice William Brennan, the liberal lion, was convinced to hire his first woman law clerk and who that clerk was. (Hint: She’s a judge now herself.)” That clerk was Marsha Berzon, now a senior judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Also of note: SCCLA and other bar groups are presenting a free webinar on April 22 at noon titled U.S. Supreme Court Clerkships, with a special intro by Justice Goodwin Liu. Register here.
