Round-Up: More on the Gender of SCOTUS Clerks

Linda Greenhouse has this article in today’s New York Times finding that women are “suddenly scarce among Justices’ clerks.” In the article, she cites this July post at the Volokh Conspiracy which ignited a plethora of comments and several other blog posts. Today’s article, too, has elicited several responses from legal bloggers, including this post at Sentencing Law and Policy, this one at the Georgetown Law Faculty Blog, this one at the WSJ Law Blog, and this follow-up from Eugene Volokh.

[UPDATE 4:40 PM: The Supreme Court has made available the remarks from August 11 of Justice Ginsburg on the topic of women in the legal profession. Her speech can be read here.]

Rick Hasen, in a post here at the Election Law Blog, invites readers to comment on his new paper, “The Newer Incoherence: Competition, Social Science, and Balancing in Campaign Finance Law After Randall v. Sorrell.”
