Have you read "The Forgotten Memoir of John Knox: A Year in the Life of a Supreme Court Clerk in FDR's Washington?" A fascinating account of a nightmarish year working for anti-New Deal fanatic James McReynolds.
As a young soon-to-be labor attorney, Emerson’s account of being an early NLRB attorney gave me goosebumps. I personally loved my time at the NLRB, and I definitely felt the sense that these attorneys cared about workers' rights. Plus, who wouldn't love a cozy fed job with that juicy pay-grade?
