Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, the daughter of Yale Law professor Amy Chua, will join Brett Kavanaugh's all-female clerk crew for the October 2019 term.
After Kavanaugh was nominated last year, Amy Chua was reported to have advised female law students to look and dress a certain way when interviewing for coveted clerkships with Kavanaugh.
Chua denied the allegations and defended her endorsement of Kavanaugh, who she called a"mentor to women." In an email to Yale's law community, Chua said that she always tells"students to prep insanely hard" for clerkship interviews and that"substance is the most important thing." Judge Brett Kavanaugh listens during his Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing to be an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., September 4, 2018. Kavanaugh has hired all female clerks, one of them being the daughter of Yale law professor Amy Chua. Chua was accused last year of grooming female students to work for Kavanaugh.Yale students told several news outlets that Chua was lying in her defense.
Yale University, Kavanaugh's alma mater, was repeatedly in the national spotlight throughout the justice's ascension to the high court. One of his accusers, Deborah Ramirez, was a former classmate of Kavanaugh's at Yale during their undergraduate years. Ramirezthe judge exposed himself to her and forced her to touch him during a"drunken dormitory" party their freshman year.
