Posner isn't an asshole to his clerks so that would give him the edge even if they were equal in their reputations.

Is Koz an asshole to his clerks?

Yeah, the stories are like legends.

Apparently he calls the office at 6:30 am to make sure that his clerks are at the office and he also calls each clerks desk at 8:30pm to make sure you are still working then.

At least the clerks know what they're getting into. His OSCAR profile even says something to the affect that he expects his clerks to work crazy hours.

I don't think I would work those hours for a chance at SCOTUS. I don't hate myself that much.

But guys, his opinions have pop culture references. Totally worth it.

I had a prof who clerked for Kozinski. He had the same stories. He said when he went to his (classic biglaw 80-hour-weeks) firm, he was the only person for whom the hours were a break.
