In Chambers offers a variety of perspectives on the unique
experience of Supreme Court clerks. Former law clerks―including
Alan M. Dershowitz, Charles A. Reich, and J. Harvie Wilkinson
III―write about their own clerkships, painting vivid and detailed
pictures of their relationships with the justices, while other
authors write about the various clerkships for a single justice,
putting a justice's practice into a broader context. The book
also includes essays about the first African American and first
woman to hold clerkships. Sharing their insights, anecdotes, and
experiences in a clear, accessible style, the contributors
provide readers with a rare glimpse into the inner workings of
the Supreme Court.
