Law Students

Not just a typeface

Pamela Bookman, c/o 2006, is the first UVA student to land a gig on the Supreme Court for OT 2009.  Bookman got her recommendation letter to the Court from Klarman, who wrote, "Pamela Bookman is brilliant, incredibly hard-working, a terrific writer, and a delightful young woman . . . Not only was the final product excellent, but she worked harder, demonstrated better organizational skills, and showed greater initiative and motivation than any student I have ever supervised."  That plus her interview impressed Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who offered her the job on the spot.  It was her first visit to the Supreme Court ever.  On our first visit we tripped on the stairs.
