WASHINGTON (AP) – Arizona Appeals Court Judge Sandra O’Connor reportedly has selected one of her four law clerks for the U.S. Supreme Court. With O’Connor’s confirmation virtually certain within the next two. weeks as the nation’s first female Supreme Court justice, there were reports Saturday that she has selected Ruth V. McGregor of Phoenix, an Arizona State University law school graduate, to be her clerk. A spokesman for the Phoenix law firm of Fennemore, Craig, von Ammon & Udall confirmed that McGregor, 38, left the firm last week to take the clerk’s position with O’Connor. McGregor was ASU’s top law school graduate in the May 1974 class. The Senate is expected to confirm O’Connor’s nomination next week.
