The weather’s changing, but gender disparities in U.S. Supreme Court arguments? Not so much. Men will outnumber women at the high court 20 to four this month, the court’s hearing list shows.
The March session also features the somewhat rare appointment of an amicus, or friend of the court, to argue a position abandoned by one of the parties on appeal. That will be Monday in Smith v. Berryhill, where Gupta Wessler’s Deepak Gupta will argue for a position formerly advanced by the government in a Social Security benefits case.
The Smith argument also features Mayer Brown’s Michael B. Kimberly, who’s arguing two cases this month. The other is one of the term’s biggest on March 26 on partisan gerrymandering.
Top Supreme Court advocate Paul Clement of Kirkland & Ellis will argue twice, the partisan gerrymandering case and a racial gerrymandering case out of Virginia on Monday.
