Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.
A Supreme Court clerkship is unmatched in terms of preparing lawyers for appellate and Supreme Court practice. These 10 lawyers come to the Firm battle-tested and ready to serve our clients. They join an already formidable issues and appeals practice and will add to the acumen and tenacity that are the hallmarks of Jones Day attorneys.
— Traci L. Lovitt, leader of Jones Day’s issues and appeals practice, in a statement offered to the National Law Journal, on the firm’s recent addition of 10 former Supreme Court clerks to its associate roster. The 10 attorneys, evenly split between men and women, all clerked for the conservative wing of the Court. They will each reportedly receive signing bonuses of $450,000, or perhaps even more.
