Wilson Miller ‘21
Guest Editor
Wilson Miller ’21, a student at the University of Virginia School of Law, will clerk for New York TV Judge Judith Sheindlin during a revival 26th season. Known to many as “Judge Judy,” Sheindlin entered senior status at the end of her hit TV show’s 25th season in 2020.
The Law School is fourth after Yale, Harvard, and Stanford in the number of graduates clerking for the U.S. Supreme Court[1] since 2005. And, with Miller’s placement, it is now first among top law schools in the number of graduates who will have clerked for Judge Judy.
“I am so lucky to be working for a woman who is an icon in our profession. ‘The people are real, the cases are real, the rulings are final.’ And I am looking forward to being a part of that.”
Miller credits his wonderful professors for this opportunity. When reached for comment, one said “[w]e have no idea how this happened, but at least he has a job.” Another said “[w]hat does a clerk for Judge Judy even do, exactly?”
Miller also credits April Fools Day for his success in this endeavor.
