Supreme Court Clerkship Placement 1996 through 2006 Terms

Texas Law Prof Brian Leiter has published his latest survey of Supreme Court clerkships at Leiter's Law School Rankings. The survey ranks law school success rates at placing their grads as clerks on the Supreme Court from the 1996 term through the current 2006 term. In absolute numbers, Harvard ranks first but law students have a better chance to grab a SCOTUS clerkship if they graduate from Yale because of Yale's substantially smaller class size.
