I’m sure the finding that former clerks win more is relevant - but are they controlling for the caliber of attorney? The clerks as a whole are an extremely hard working and talented subset of the legal industry and I would expect their results to also show favorably in almost any context later in their careers. It’s hard to overstate how competitive getting a scotus clerkship is. |

1. The lift is specifically strong for the judge they clerked for, and not for all of the judges 2. Federal clerks (also wildly competitive roles even if a bit less fancy) win about as much as scotus clerks from their analysis of another other data set, but don’t show some crazy single justice lift
Interesting stuff
