Over 17 years at Hogan & Hartson and the solicitor general’s office, John Roberts Jr. collaborated with and mentored dozens of lawyers. Roberts’s legacy, says Cate Stetson at Hogan Lovells, is evident in “our style of advocacy, our attention to the craft, and the care we take.” Roberts’s disciples include:
