Over the recent weeks and months, much has been said and written about the perceived diversity among the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. By some measuring sticks — for example, ideology, gender, race and age — the court is slowly becoming more diverse, especially when compared to past courts.

Viewed from a different vantage point — that of experiential diversity — we question whether the court is really all that diverse, and we wonder whether society should expand its definition or expectation of “diversity” when talking about the makeup of the Supreme Court.
