Congratulations to Raymond Kethledge and Helene White, both of whom have been confirmed to the Sixth Circuit, as well as Stephen J. Murphy, who has been confirmed to the Eastern District of Michigan. Kethledge joins the ranks of former law clerks who later became members of the court for which they once clerked; he is also (by my count) the fourth former law clerk for Justice Kennedy to be confirmed as a federal court of appeals judge.
