For the second year in a row, Jones Day has hired six law clerks who worked for U.S. Supreme Court justices in the term just ended. The number appears to exceed the hires by other firms from a class of 39 clerks, four for each sitting justice and one each for the three retired justices.
Hiring partner Beth Heifetz said the hires were in line with the current market. That likely means that the firm paid the prevailing hiring bonus of $300,000 for Supreme Court clerks, for a total of $1.8 million, apart from salaries and benefits.
