LAW CLERK — Taylor Handford

Where were you born and raised? Batesville, Arkansas.

Family information: My mother is Elizabeth Bunch, and my father is Brant Handford. I am an only child.

My favorite meal: My favorite meal is corn bread and black-eyed peas.

When I’m not working: I’m reading, play ing tennis, doomscrolling on Twitter, and practicing very amateur photography of places around the state.

The accomplishments of which I am most proud: Remaining optimistic.

The hardest thing I have ever done is: Watch Razorback football games.

At the top of my bucket list is to: Convince somone in the Italian government to let me walk inside Trajan’s Column in Rome or somehow have a countryside villa with some olive groves or grapevines in Italy, France or Spain. The villa can be a shack. I don’t need anything fancy.

You might be surpised to learn that: People contain multitudes, learning things is never a surprise.

My pet peeve is: Dependent on my mood.

Motto or favorite quote: “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”
