Christopher L. Eisgruber wrote the following essay for our thirty-day series on John Paul Stevens. Eisgruber is the provost of Princeton University and the author of The Next Justice: Repairing the Supreme Court Appointments Process (2007) . He clerked for Justice Stevens during the October 1989 Term. During the 1989-90 term, when I clerked for Justice Stevens, all the clerks gathered for drinks on Friday afternoons.
