Abstract

The article examines the recent composition of the U.S. Courts of Appeals and District Courts, with specific reference to those coming to the bench from private practice. It presents a descriptive analysis of the makeup of nomination cohorts over time and from each president from 1977 to 2010. It also discusses literature on judicial departure decisions to determine the factors that affect whether or not a nominee comes from private practice.
