Justice David Souter's legacy is tied to the 72 lawyers who clerked for him. Souter's 72 former law clerks, a "notoriously loyal tribe" in the words of one, have fanned out after their intense and deeply affecting year with the justice who announced his retirement plans on May 1. Most were planning to gather at the Court on May 9 for their annual reunion with Souter, an event sure to be more emotional than in the past. Extra port has been ordered for the evening.
