Donald is Kind of a Big Deal 2010

On Thursday, D got big news. He will be clerking for the U.S. Supreme Court!

This is something that only the best of the best law students have the opportunity to do. First you have to be brilliant, then you have to clerk for another judge, and then if your application gets picked from among a stack of other brilliant people with brilliant applications, you get to interview. In Donald's case, Justice Scalia interviewed him and chose him to clerk. I've seen Scalia in action in the Court and I can't imagine that being cross-examined interviewed by Scalia is a ton of fun. But he was prepared to answer questions on a number of legal topics. About a month later, Scalia called Donald to tell him the good news that he will be clerking during the 2011-12 term.

Congratulations, Donald! We all knew you could!
