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.

That is stupid. Not even a law degree? So going by your response, 45 could nominate and put on the bench Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh?
That is scary.

Yep, no legal requirements. I think the founders made the mistake of not putting in some. But I guess they assumed the advise and consent part would get congress to bring up experience. I find that lack of requirement scary considering whom now has the power to make those nominations and that congress is lopsided to theocratic minds.
