Judge Ungaro says farewell to the bench

It was a really nice event (moderated by former clerk and soon-to-be magistrate judge Melissa Visconti). It's good to start seeing folks again! Chief Judge Moore and incoming Chief Judge Altonaga spoke.  Two of her law clerks, Rachel Furst and Frank Maderal, gave nice speeches.  And Judge Ungaro spoke beautifully about her time on the bench, including her close relationship with Kathryn (her courtroom deputy) and Bill (her court reporter).  Bill even delivered a wonderful poem.  I didn't know about the daily lunch scrabble games with staff and the clerks.  I wonder whether law clerks when they first start feel any pressure to let Judge U win.
