Patricia Millett, head of the Supreme Court practice at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, reached a new milestone in high court advocacy on April 24: She argued her 31st case, more than any other woman in history. “The firm is extremely proud of her,” said firm chairman R. Bruce McLean. “She is a fabulously talented lawyer.”
Millett was arguing for a Michigan Indian tribe in a land use dispute, and her time at the lectern was not easy. Justice Antonin Scalia peppered her with hostile questions. Both Millett and Arnold & Porter‘s Lisa Blatt, with 30 arguments, have traded the distinction back and forth and will probably continue to do so for years.
