Examples of clerking in a Sentence
Judge Gorsuch spoke to me about the special experience clerking for the Supreme Court and the responsibility and privilege that comes with such a position.
Judge Gorsuch had the privilege of clerking on the Supreme Court, where he observed justices who had been on the court for decades as well as justices, like Justice Thomas, who was just beginning, those early years, when a justice is establishing his or her jurisprudence and style, are particularly challenging.
There is a very important first on the Supreme Court this term, and it's thanks to our new justice, Justice Kavanaugh, whose entire staff is all women. All of his law clerks are women, and with his four women as law clerks, it's the first time in the history of the United States that there have been more women clerking at the court than men.
