Thursday, April 8, 2010 Women and the Supreme Court Bar McDonough Hall - Hart Auditorium
Moderated by Professor Pamela Harris, Executive Director, Supreme Court Institute. Though there have been notable exceptions, men have traditionally dominated the small and prestigious bar of Supreme Court advocates who practice regularly before the Court. But today, there are signs of change: Justice Sonia Sotomayor is the third woman to sit on the Supreme Court; Solicitor General Elena Kagen is the first woman to that office; and women lawyers now head a number of law-firm Supreme Court and appellate practices. Our panelists will discuss their career paths to appellate practices and their experiences as Supreme Court advocates, offering guidance to other women who hope to practice before the Court. They also will take on directly the issue of gender diversity in the Supreme Court bar, addressing obstacles to fuller participation by women and ways to increase the number of women lawyers in Supreme Court practice. This event is sponsored by the Georgetown Law Supreme Court Institute, Georgetown Law Center for the Study of the Legal Profession and Women's Legal Alliance. A webcast is available at https://www.law.georgetown.edu/webcast/eventDetail.cfm?eventID=1098.
