In a 30-year career on the Supreme Court, Justice Antonin Scalia authored more than 800 opinions, forming the basis for the conservative originalist view of the Constitution. But an equally lasting legacy may turn out to be his family. The justice, who died in 2016, had nine children: five boys and four girls. The eldest son, Eugene Scalia, has been nominated by President Trump to serve as labor secretary, and the others have had notable careers in law, the military, ministry, and writing, among other pursuits.

Eugene Scalia, 55, has worked with the private sector management-side firm Gibson Dunn, chairing its Labor and Employment Practice Group for the past 12 years. His clients have included some of the largest trade associations in Washington, most notably the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He has represented the Chamber and others in some of the highest-profile cases before the Labor Department and the National Labor Relations Board in recent years. Eugene Scalia previously served as solicitor for the Labor Department in 2002 during President George W. Bush’s administration.
