Last week, King & Spalding partner Paul Mezzina returned to private practice after spending last year clerking for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. The stint was not the first, nor even the second time Mezzina had clerked for a Supreme Court Justice. In 2013, he clerked for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, and four years prior, Mezzina clerked for Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was then a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

The American Lawyer affiliate National Law Journal spoke with Mezzina about the differing work styles of each of the three jurists and the value that multiple clerkships bring to private practice.
