Statement of Former Reinhardt Law Clerks

by Michael C. Dorf

After a former law clerk to Judge Reinhardt testified before a House subcommittee about how he sexually harassed her, other former law clerks reacted with supportive comments. For example, I posted a personal statement saying that I believe her account and echoing her call for better systems for training, deterring, reporting, and responding to such conduct in the judiciary. Late last week over 70 former Reinhardt clerks (including me) signed a statement expressing those sentiments and more. Our statement, which has received some media attention, appears here.
