I find it unfortunate that a page indicating that a Supreme Court law clerk has become a professor at a major law school and is a contributor to a significant legal blog (associated with Reason Magazine, but a noted player before that which was part of the Washington Post before that) would be a candidate for immediate deletion. Ideally, Wikipedia would have a link to every person who has been a Supreme Court Law Clerk and has not retreated to a private life. I did not create a 5000 word biography, just an answer to questions that wikipedia readers might have: is he related to Eugene Volokh? Is he the same guy who posts on Volokh Conspiracy? Is he the guy who is a professor at Emory Law School? Did you know that Emory is the 26th Law School in the country according to US News? I am not certain that you were aware of this information.
