Counselor to U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts to Step Down from Position
A longtime counselor to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is stepping down from his post, the court announced on Tuesday.
Jeffrey Minear will retire as the counselor to Roberts on Sept. 30, a position he was appointed to in 2006, not long after Roberts assumed his role as chief justice.
The counselor to a justice works essentially as a chief of staff, working with other court officers on initiatives and cases and acting as a liaison with the executive and legislative branches of the federal government.
