Clement and I have a few more connections than just Tulane or New Orleans. I have an LL.M. in maritime law, although I never got the opportunity to put it to much use. But, even odder, my mother was a legal secretary at the law firm of Jones, Walker (where Clements worked) when I was very young. I used to go to work with her on Saturday when she caught up with paperwork, and she'd let me sit on her boss's executive chair at his executive desk in the corner office, and crayon on the yellow pads.

Clement is a little older than me, she graduated law school in 1973 and I graduated high school in 1970. Much more distinguished, of course. It took me a long time to decide on law school and even now I often wish I'd done history instead.

As for Judge Roberts, no, he's not my type. Too boyish, I like them a little more rough-hewn. For example, Ted Olsen.
