Chief Judge Merrick B. Garland

Merrick Garland spoke with incoming 1Ls at his alma mater last week, giving them some career advice along the way. Where did he attend law school?

Hint: He told students not to expect a predictable career because “you never have any idea of what’s going to come.” Like, you know, your nomination to the Supreme Court languishing before the Senate for an unprecedented five months without a hearing. Something like that might have been what he had in mind.
