A mutual friend had connected us because we were about to begin clerking together on the Supreme Court.
We certainly could not have imagined that, 22 years later, she would be nominated to serve on the United States Supreme Court.
Everything has changed, except Amy Coney Barrett.
She will bring all those qualities to the Supreme Court, and our nation will be blessed by her years of service as Justice Barrett.
Her respect among her colleagues and students is reflected in the fact that she has been elected professor of the year three times by the law school's graduating class and in letters of support for her nomination to the 7th Circuit, including ones signed by all of her full-time faculty colleagues at Notre Dame, all of her fellow Supreme Court clerks, hundreds of former students and dozens of prominent law professors from around the country.
Laura Wolk went on to be the first blind woman to clerk on the Supreme Court.
There are dozens of young people like Laura, whose lives were transformed by their relationship with Judge Barrett as a mentor.
