When Sarah Pitlyk went to clerk for Judge Brett Kavanaugh on the D.C. Circuit Court, she found herself in a unique situation: Between the time she interviewed for the job, and went to begin the clerkship, Pitlyk had given birth.
"I was the first of his clerks who had ever had that kind of familial obligation to balance with the clerkship, which is a tremendously rewarding job, but also a very difficult job," Pitlyk, who clerked for Kavanaugh at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 2010-2011, said.
"As we were coming up to the wedding and towards the end of my clerkship with Judge Kavanaugh, I was helping Judge Kavanaugh with a major opinion, and I think we were up to draft 125," she told The Daily Signal.
As for Pitlyk, who had a baby to balance with a federal clerkship, Kavanaugh did more than "Tolerate" her situation-he proactively addressed it.
Pitlyk said she wouldn't be surprised if female clerks gravitate toward working for Kavanaugh because they hear from other clerks who have worked for him that it's "a place not just of genuine gender equality, but equality of all kinds."
Taibleson describes clerking for Kavanaugh as one of the most intense and inspiring experiences she's ever had, and added that he continues to support her throughout her career.
"What that means is that Judge Kavanaugh is really contributing to diversifying this segment of the legal profession. He's doing that by hiring women as law clerks, but then also by mentoring them and advocating for them throughout their careers."
