The Supreme Court wrapped up its arguments Wednesday with a case in which two of the three lawyers who took part are women. But that split was not at all reflective of the court’s term, in which women presented less than a quarter of the arguments.
Prelogar raised the gender gap when she argued in October in“And I think it would be reasonable for a woman to look at that and wonder, is that a path that’s open to me, to be a Supreme Court advocate? Are private clients willing to hire women to argue their Supreme Court cases? When there is that kind of gross disparity in representation, it can matter and it’s common sense,” she said.
A more experienced lawyer easily could have taken the case from Hutton, she said. Instead, “they used that experience to support one of the more junior partners to become an advocate at that level,” Hutton said.. The court, she said, “stands adjourned until May 11 at 10 a.m.” That will have to change soon, if they hope to finish their work by the end of June, as they usually do before taking a summer break.
