Rachel Kovner, one of Justice Scalia's hires for October Term 2007, is the daughter of a billionaire. But she "hasn't allowed her brilliance and her wealth to go to her head" (more details here). She's extremely low-key and modest -- even though some have called upon her to "find her inner diva."
Meanwhile, Justice Scalia has hired his fourth clerk for OT 2007. Congratulations to Bryan Killian!
Unclear that Rachel is a conservative. Her mother is quite liberal http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/features/12353/

FYI: Stephen Cowen was just selected as a Kennedy clerk.

Did a little scratching around. Did you know Der Kovner has an acknowledgement from none other than Richard Einstein, whoops, Epstein, for her research on his book, How the Progressives Rewrote the Constitution. That title is NOT a bestseller at Yale Law, methinks.
