You know you can Google this stuff, right?

Ok well, you have a point.
Doesn't help that the story simply left it at "law clerk".
But outside the story not making their background clear, what is the legal standard for being appointed or getting on a ballot for any bench seat? That is a separate question. I'd hope it would be just like getting a medical licence.
A (very) quick Google search revealed that there are no qualifications whatsoever for being a US Supreme Court justice. None.
Sleep well.
