The Federal Judicial Center directory: Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali, born 1985 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. University of Waterloo, B.S.E., 2008. Harvard Law School, J.D., 2011.

Then two clerkships. Law clerk, Hon. Raymond C. Fisher, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, 2011–2012. Law clerk, Hon. Marshall Rothstein, Supreme Court of Canada, 2012–2013. Private practice, Washington, D.C., 2013–2017. The District of Columbia court biography names the firm: Jenner & Block LLP. It also prints “J.D., magna cum laude.” Those words are the court’s. They are not this file’s adjectives.

The same court bio says he has taught at Harvard Law School, Georgetown University Law Center, and the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law. FJC dates: adjunct, Georgetown, 2018; lecturer and clinical co-director, Harvard Law School, 2018–; adjunct, UDC, 2023–. Titles as printed. No childhood color. No invented inner life.
