Roberts grew up in Long Beach, Ind., working summers in the same steel mill
where his father was an electrical engineer and serving as high school class
president and captain of the football team.
After graduating with honors from Harvard University — both as an
undergraduate and in law school — he clerked for Rehnquist when he was an
associate justice on the Supreme Court and later worked as a prominent lawyer
and judge in Washington. He argued 39 cases in front of the Supreme Court, and
was considered one of the nation's best appellate lawyers before being tapped
for the federal appeals court.
