Clint Bolick entered college pursuing a career in teaching and politics. But then a summer internship with The Fund for American Studies placed him in Sen. Orrin Hatch’s office and changed his life forever.
It was the summer before his senior year at Drew University, a liberal arts school on the outskirts of New York City, and that internship experience in 1978 made Bolick realize that he wanted to practice law rather than go into politics.
Hatch was serving his first term as a U.S. senator from Utah and Bolick got to see firsthand what working in politics was like.
“Although I admired Hatch enormously,” Bolick said in an interview with The Daily Signal, “I realized that politics didn’t really suit my personality. I’m more of a black-and-white type of person and I consider electoral politics and legislative politics to be shades of gray.”
