Clerking for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is something of a family affair for Wendy Collins Perdue, dean of the University of Richmond School of Law and current president of the Association of American Law Schools.
In 1978, Perdue clerked for Kennedy, who announced his retirement Wednesday, when she was fresh out of Duke Law School and he was a relative newcomer on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Her son William, a 2011 graduate of Yale Law School and current associate at Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, clerked for Kennedy at the high court just last year.
