Northern District of Alabama
Clemon was nominated to the Northern District of Alabama by President Jimmy Carter on January 10, 1980 to a new seat created by 92 Stat. 1629 which was approved by Congress. Clemon was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on June 26, 1980 on a Senate vote and received commission on June 30, 1980. Clemon served as the chief judge of the court from 1999 to 2006.

Judicial pay dispute
Clemon is one of eight judges pressing a claim that Congress has violated the Constitution's compensation clause by failing to honor promised judicial salary increases in five separate years. The case was thrown out on October 16, 2009, but the group of judges are appealing it to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. [2]
