Female SCOTUS Clerks Since 2004

As a follow-up to my earlier post about the relatively small number of women in appellate practice, here is a breakdown of the female SCOTUS clerks of the last ten years by Justice (Terms 2004-13). I found that 35 percent of clerks throughout that period have been women. That is higher than the percentage of women (under 30 percent) who currently do appeals for the major appellate law firms.
