I am immensely grateful to Judge Wood for giving me the chance to clerk for her, to Khushali Narechania for being willing to uproot our nascent family so that I could seize that opportunity, and to Scott Hemphill for urging me to apply to Judge Wood’s chambers in the first instance. I also thank Matthew Reade and the editors of The University of Chicago Law Review for the invitation to offer my personal recollections, and for their edits and suggestions on this short piece.
