Meet the Senators

Earlier today I went sight seeing in Washington DC. A mother and her daughter asked me directions to the WWII memorial, after which they eagerly described their sighting of Justice Stephen G. Breyer lunching with his clerks at the Monocle. I knew previously that SGB was to serve as the presiding judge [along with Judge Silberman of the DC Cir] in a mock appeal put on by the Lawyers' Committee for the Shakespeare Theater where they'd hear arguments in the case of Iago inducing the murder of Othello and Desdemona. Needless to say I was more than pissed off that I didn't see SBG during either of those occasions.

Fortunately for me, I did see two of my classmates at National airport [I'm willing to bet that there have been countless such stories during call back season]. As wonderful as my classmates are, I'm sorry to say they don't compare with me sharing a flight with Sens Kennedy and Kerry. While Kerry sat first class, Kennedy sat in my row, just on the other side of the plane.

[Sidenote: If people remember the last issue of Boalt Briefs that talked about various firm contributions to OCIP, and a certain firm was mentioned as donating plastic surgery to 100 lucky candidates to help them meet the high [firm name] standard. Well I just found out that a friend of a friend of a friend, who is currently clerking for S.D. Cal will use part of his/her $10,000 clerkship bonus from [firm name] for plastic surgery. Kudos to Boalt Briefs for another excellent expose.]
