Justice John Paul Stevens

Speculation about the future of Justice David Souter began early this year when he did not fully staff his law clerks—and the same guessing game is now underway about Justice John Paul Stevens. Justice Stevens, the oldest judge currently serving on the Supreme Court and the second oldest justice in the court's history, has hired fewer law clerks than usual, fueling the theory that this court term will be his last. Will SCOTUS lose another band mate?
