Ok. Read the paper, they do attempt to account for this in their confounding analysis but don’t control for it.

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
