The New Trend Keeping Women Out of the Country’s Top Legal Ranks

"From 1996 to 2016, 16 percent of Supreme Court clerks had clerked for more than one judge before making it to SCOTUS. In the past seven years, that number has skyrocketed to 61 percent. In fact, just as a matter of raw numbers, there have been more multiyear clerks since 2016 than the previous 20 years combined."(...) "Some might ask: The few hundred young lawyers who compete for the 40 or so SCOTUS clerkships have already jumped through so many hoops, what is one or two more years? But if the credential opens the doors for future opportunities, changing the game could have long-term consequences for who practices law at the highest levels and who is on the short list for future judgeships."
