Hear from study authors Judge Jeremy Fogel (ret.), Professor Mary Hoopes, and Justice Goodwin Liu about their work.
From the study abstract:
“Judicial clerkships are key positions of responsibility and coveted opportunities for career advancement. Commentators have noted that the demographics of law clerks do not align with the student population by law school, socioeconomic background, gender, race, or ethnicity, and that ideological matching is prevalent between judges and their clerks. But extant studies draw on limited data and offer little visibility into how judges actually select clerks. For this study, [Judge Jeremy Fogel (ret.), Professor Mary Hoopes, and Justice Goodwin Liu] conducted in-depth individual interviews with fifty active judges of the federal courts of appeals to learn how they approach law clerk selection and diversity.”
