His net worth is $5.3 million despite the big pay cut he took in 2003 when he left the Washington law firm of Hogan & Hartson, where he was a partner earning in excess of $1 million a year, for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and a salary of $171,800.
Other sources of income this year include $25,000 to teach a seminar on Supreme Court litigation at Georgetown University and $4,500 to teach a course on international trade at the University College London.
He's been a member of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia since 1992, The Lawyers Club of Washington since 1996 and The Metropolitan Club since 1995.
