Join National Law Journal Supreme Court correspondent Tony Mauro and Hogan Lovells partner Neal Katyal for a conference call at 3 ET on Thursday, Dec. 14, to discuss new demographic research on Supreme Court law clerks from 2005 to 2017.

How are Supreme Court clerks hired? Why have diversity gains been slower at SCOTUS than in other areas of the legal profession? Does diversity matter and are justices doing enough to boost the inclusion of women and minorities?

Tony Mauro has covered the U.S. Supreme Court for more than three decades and is a lead writer of NLJ's Supreme Court Brief, a subscription newsletter about the court. He is the author of three books on the Supreme Court.

Neal Katyal is a former Acting Solicitor General of the U.S. and an esteemed appellate advocate who's argued 35 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. A frequent commentator on legal issues, he teaches constitutional law at Georgetown University. Neal graduated from Yale Law School and clerked for Justice Stephen Breyer.
