YLS Professors for SCOTUS?
Hi all, I'm a rising 3L who has been told that I have a good shot at SCOTUS from some professors but that I need to start networking harder. Does anyone from YLS know who the professors are that are particularly known for feeding people to SCOTUS?

Re: YLS Professors for SCOTUS?
At Yale and Harvard, "feeder professor" is *absolutely* a thing. Maybe a few such people at other schools, too. If you know, you know. (And if you have a shot at SCOTUS, you'll know as soon as the end of 1L, if not sooner.)

lmao shouldn't you just ask a friend in the dining hall instead of posting on TLS?
besides the usual suspects, people on the clerkship committee would obviously be helpful, as would most of the con law professors. I think, though, that you would need to do some substantive work with someone before they would be willing to make a call (RAing, having them supervise a paper, or just taking their class and doing well). If you're working at a firm in DC this summer, I would also think about getting to know the partners who handle appeals, since they have more regular contact with the court than professors do.
