Those who knew Roberts during his time at Harvard said they are not surprised that he attained such a high office.
In the days leading up to today’s vote, most experts had agreed that Roberts would face an easy confirmation.
Roberts graduated from Harvard College in three years, earning a summa cum laude degree in history. He went on to HLS, where he served as the managing editor of the Harvard Law Review and eventually graduated magna cum laude.
After his six years in Cambridge, Roberts went on to clerk for Judge Henry Friendly. Later, he clerked for then-Associate Justice Rehnquist.
Roberts subsequently served as a lawyer in the Reagan administration, as deputy solicitor general under President George H. W. Bush, and then as a private-practice attorney specializing in appellate arguments.
