Clerkships and idology

[Finkelman, Paul <paul.finkelman@albanylaw.edu>]

Has anyone ever done a study -- formal of informal -- of Justices ideology and the subsequent ideology of their clerks.  Conservatives who clerked for liberals:  Mike McConnell, for example, clerked for Brennan and Rehquist for Jackson, yet neither had the same political/philosophy as they judges they clerked for.  Can anyone think of other examples, I am especially interested in the flip of this -- liberals or moderats who clerked for very conservaitve justices (Scalia, Thomas, Rehnqust). On list or off list is fine.
