Actually, the rule in grammar is that the modifying clause be related to the noun that is closest to it.

I wrote: “Having been a clerk in that court, Gorsuch probably knows...”

The clause relates to Gorsuch. It is not a dangling modifier.

The pronoun “I” does not appear anyplace in the sentence.

I stand corrected! So, who did you clerk for? Just kidding! Thanks!
