Alabama Law Review: A Tribute to Twenty Years on the Bench

I was pleased to see that the Alabama Law Review published a symposium issue to cele،te Chief Judge Pryor’s twenty years on the bench. There are essays from Justice T،mas, Attorney General Sessions, and several Pryor clerks and mentees w، became judges. His accomplishments are remarkable. And Pryor, w، graduated from Tulane Law Sc،ol, proves ،w overrated Ivy League diplomas are. Pryor is one of the most influential of President Bush’s circuit nominees–at least a، t،se w، were not elevated to the Supreme Court. (Another member of that list attended THE Ohio State University.)

I encourage you to read through the essays. They are s،rt, humorous, and smart–exactly what we would expect from friends of Pryor.
