Like some of her recent predecessors, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has hired two law clerks who have already clerked for other justices. The Court on Thursday released the names of the current term’s law clerks, including these four for Sotomayor: Jeremy Marwell, Eloise Pasachoff, Lindsey Powell and Robert Yablon. That’s two males and two females, with other demographics unconfirmed. The names were first ferreted out by the Above the Law blog on Tuesday.
Yablon and Powell are the veterans, having just completed clerkships for Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and John Paul Stevens, respectively. When justices join the Court, they find it useful to bring in clerks who already know the Court’s intricate and sometimes baffling procedures and quirks.
