I thought I'd fill you guys in on what you're missing. Law Clerk 1 - Texas Tech Law '07 grad. Serving since Aug. '07 until Aug. 2011. Possibly more, since this is undisputably a great gig. Law Clerk 2 - Loyola Law '08 grad. Serving Aug. '08 - Aug. '10. Pro Se Law Clerk (Permanent) - University of Texas grad.
