Description
In Chambers offers a variety of perspectives on the unique experience of Supreme Court clerks. Former law clerks-including Alan M. Dershowitz, Charles A. Reich, and J. Harvie Wilkinson III-write about their own clerkships, painting vivid and detailed pictures of their relationships with the justices, while other authors write about the various clerkships for a single justice, putting a justice's practice into a broader context. The book also includes essays about the first African American and first woman to hold clerkships. Sharing their insights, anecdotes, and experiences in a clear, accessible style, the contributors provide readers with a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Supreme Court.
