Employer: U.S. Supreme Court/Justice Neil Gorsuch Title and Practice Area: Law Clerk, Appellate and Strategic Litigation *Note: James was previously an attorney with the U.S. Justice Department, but left the DOJ on May 29, 2020, and began a clerkship with Justice Neil Gorsuch at the U.S. Supreme Court on Aug. 17.*

Describe your biggest win or accomplishment in practice.  My biggest win in practice remains our successful overturning of [former Virginia Gov.] Bob McDonnell’s criminal convictions by a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court, including obtaining an unprecedented order from the court that kept McDonnell from having to report to prison while his appeal was pending. I was the lead associate on the case from before indictment to the Supreme Court and am incredibly proud of what we achieved.
