And not just anyone, either. For example, one of his SCOTUS clerks for the upcoming term was a Rakoff/Katzmann clerk first. The other was a Reinhardt/Tatel clerk.
I think some of this is attributable to being a new judge--many COA judges similarly like to hire experienced clerks in their first term or two. At least one of his 2015-'16 clerks will be coming straight from law school.
And another one will be coming off a prior district court clerkship.
