Clerk hiring hints at retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens

By: Bloomberg News September 3, 2009

Justice John Paul Stevens has hired only one law clerk so far for the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010-11 term, raising the possibility that the 89-year-old might retire next year. Stevens, like other justices, typically hires four law clerks for each term and usually has completed his hiring by this time of year. "It would be out of character for Stevens to hire more clerks when he knew he was going to retire," said Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School in Washington. A Stevens departure would mean a second vacancy for President Barack Obama.
