Who represents litigants in the Supreme Court of the United
States? Kevin T. McGuire shows that the most sophisticated of them
have the advantage of representation by an elite counsel made up of
former clerks to the justices, alumni of the Office of the
Solicitor General, partners in powerful Washington law firms, and
public interest lawyers, all of whom serve as gatekeepers to the
Court.
In this study, the first to characterize the bar of the Supreme
Court as a whole, McGuire uses survey, archival, and interview data
to explore the history and social structure of the community of
Supreme Court specialists. In so doing, he assesses the strategic
politics of Supreme Court practice, the ways in which dominant
litigators can shape the Court's decisions, and what the existence
of such an elite implies for judicial fairness.
