In the third spot, we have William H. Rehnquist, who clerked for Justice Robert H. Jackson during the 1952 Term . . .

In the fourth spot, we have Stephen G. Breyer, who clerked for Justice Arthur J. Goldberg during the 1964 Term . . .

In the fifth spot, we have John G. Roberts, Jr., who clerked for Justice William H. Rehnquist during the 1980 Term . . .

In the sixth spot, we have Elena Kagan, who clerked for Justice Thurgood Marshall during the 1987 Term . . .

In the seventh spot, we have Neil M. Gorsuch, who clerked for then-retired Justice Byron R. White and Justice Anthony M. Kennedy during the 1993 Term . . .

In the eighth spot, we have Brett M. Kavanaugh, who clerked for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy during the 1993 Term . . .

And for a bonus ⚖️ Judicial Fun Fact ⚖️ . . .

Did you know that one of these law clerks ended up serving as a member of the Court alongside the Justice for whom he clerked?

That would be Justice Gorsuch alongside Justice Kennedy!
