Congratulations To The 2015 Bristow Fellows

Which law schools and lower-court judges send the most people into prestigious Bristow Fellowships?

This past Thanksgiving, four brilliant young lawyers had something extra-special to be grateful for. Not too long ago, they found out about their selection as Bristow Fellows. As we’ve previously explained, the holders of these one-year fellowships in the U.S. Solicitor General’s Office get to work on cases pending before the Supreme Court, some of the most fascinating and important matters in all the land.

Bristow Fellowships, awarded to recent law school graduates with outstanding academic records and top clerkships, are generally regarded as second only to Supreme Court clerkships in prestige (and often lead to SCOTUS clerkships as well). You can read more about the Bristow Fellowship, including the job responsibilities and application process, on the Justice Department website.

Here are the four Bristow Fellows for 2015-2016 (i.e., for October Term 2015 at the Supreme Court). Names appear courtesy of the Justice Department’s public affairs office, and law schools and prior clerkships appear courtesy of ATL tipsters:

Lena Hughes (Columbia / Cote (S.D.N.Y.) / G. Lynch)

Laura Myron (Harvard / Wilkinson)

Parker Rider-Longmaid (Penn / Scirica / Pratter (E.D. Pa.))

Evan Rose (U. Chicago / W. Fletcher/ Chhabria (N.D. Cal.))

Congratulations to Lena, Laura, Parker, and Evan. If you’d like to follow in their footsteps someday, flip to the next page to find out which law schools and judges have the strongest track records at producing Bristows.
