Alito's Law Clerks:

The [1]Washington Post has the scoop on Justice Alito's law clerks. Of
primary importance here at the VC, Alito made the smart move and hired
Sasha. Alito also picked up Ben Horwich, who was clerking with Sasha
for SOC.
For my money, though, the remaining picks are more interesting.
Alito selected three of his best former clerks -- two of whom went on
to clerk at the Supreme Court -- to return and clerk for him again.
The veteran Alito clerks are Williams & Connolly associate [2]Hannah
Smith, who clerked for Alito in '01-'02 before clerking for Justice
Thomas in OT03; [3]Sidley Austin litigation partner and [4]former
Congressional candidate Jay Jorgensen, who clerked for Alito in
'97-'98 before clerking for Chief Justice Rehnquist in OT99; and
[5]Adam Ciongoli, who clerked for Alito in '95-'96, was an aide to
then-AG John Ashcroft in 2001-03, and most recently has served as
General Counsel of Time-Warner Europe.
With that team of clerks, you can bet Alito is going to hit the
ground running.
