Accomplishments & Accolades

We take great pride in our HAN members’ accomplishments after law school. Some choose to apply what they have learned clerking for prestigious courts. Others publish in law reviews. And still others advance liberty through different means, working as assistant district attorneys or even singing in law school musicals:

Todd Hagins (LSC 00)

Todd, a clerk with the Supreme Court of South Carolina, has kept busy writing law review articles. "Mother Goose and Father God: Extending the Equal Access Act to Pre-High School Students" focusing on the right of pre-high school students to form religious clubs was published by the Regent University Law Review. A second article entitled "Robbing Peter, Paul and Mary: Plunder, the Free Market, and the Fairness in Music Licensing Act" examines music copyrights and will be published in the Spring edition of the University of Texas Review of Law & Politics.

Ilya Shapiro (LSC 01)

Ilya has been busy. Not only will he be clerking for Judge E. Grady Jolly of the 5th Circuit, he has published a book review in Economic Affairs, the journal of the Institute of Economic Affairs. Ilya also landed a part in the University of Chicago’s law school musical. Move over Richard Gere!
