Like previous articles from the AP and Montana news sources, the piece discusses Judge Thomas' lengthy legal practice, sound judgment, non-Ivy League background and leadership qualities. The piece includes interviews with attorneys and law clerks as well as Judge Richard Cebull, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, and Judge Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
