Nov 17, 2017
Samiyyah Ali ’16 will serve as a law clerk to Justice Sonia
Sotomayor of the U.S. Supreme Court for the term beginning October 2018.
Ali is currently serving as a law clerk to Judge Sri Srinivasan
of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Washington. During
the 2016-17 term, she was a law clerk for Judge Amul Thapar, then of the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Judge Thapar
has since been appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth
Circuit.
Ali holds an undergraduate degree in psychology from Duke
University and an M.A. in higher education from The Ohio State
University, where she worked before entering law school. At Vanderbilt,
she was Executive Editor of the Vanderbilt Law Review, vice president of
the Black Law Students Association, president of the VLS Ambassadors,
and a member of OUTLaw. A recipient of both the Hess and Ethel and Cecil
Roberts scholarships, Ali earned numerous book awards, was selected for
the Cal Turner Program for Moral Leadership in the Professions, and
participated in the Vanderbilt Legal Academy Scholars Program. At
graduation, she received the Bennett Douglas Bell Memorial Award, which
recognizes the student “who is not only well versed in the law, but who
shows the highest conception of the ethics of the profession,” and the
National Association of Women Lawyers Outstanding Scholar Award. She was
elected to the Order of the Coif and received a Dean’s Leadership
Award.
“Samiyyah had a stellar academic record at Vanderbilt, and she
touched and impacted almost every part of Vanderbilt during her time
here,” said Michael Bressman, who heads Vanderbilt’s Clerkship Program.
“We take tremendous pride in her achievements.”
Ali is a native of Atlanta, Georgia.
