2026 Summer Law Clerks

Anisah-Aguilar-Headshot-adj-sm-crAnisah Aguilar  

Anisah is a rising third-year student in the St. Mary’s University School of Law. She is a member of the national dispute resolution team and the organizational moot court team, and she is the secretary of the board of advocates. She will be the vice president of OUTLaw, the law student LGBT+ affinity group, for the second year in a row.

Anisah’s background is heavily science-based, as she dreamed of becoming a science teacher when she was younger. She studied neuroscience at Boston University (c/o 2022) and worked at the University of Texas as a lab manager with the Fonken Lab, studying circadian rhythms, for two years. While she still dreams of being a teacher one day, she felt a sense of urgency in reforming the public education system in Texas, which led her to the decision to pursue a path in policy, advocacy and lawmaking.

Clemon White recently completed his first year at the University of Texas School of Law. He is an active member of the Thurgood Marshall Legal Society and the American Constitution Society, and a dedicated participant in the Mithoff Pro Bono Program. Clemon exceeded the first-year pro bono benchmark and completed the Mithoff Pro Bono Parole Project, in which he and a team of students successfully secured parole for their client. In the fall, he will join the UT Law’s Civil Rights Clinic.

Clemon graduated summa cum laude from Austin College, where he majored in history and political science and minored in English and sociology. During his time at Austin College, he developed a passion for educational equity after completing an honors thesis on the overlooked Texas Civil Rights Attorney W.J. Durham, which touched on the suppression of controversial civil rights history in schools. His passion for education equity continued to grow during his congressional internship in Washington, D.C., where he engaged with education policy issues and attended meetings with education stakeholders.
