Justice Ginsburg2 black clerks in her Entirety of Time on Bench

 

The justice’s fans would also likely be shocked to learn that her legal disposition toward equal opportunity and protection under the law doesn’t appear to be translated into her own life. As of 2018, Ginsburg had only hired one Black law clerk since joining the Court in 1993. She also called former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s protest against police brutality and racial inequality “really dumb” before walking her comments back in an apology.

 

Black law clerks. All two of them

 

But that high praise for Ginsburg infamously resulted in part with her having only had two Black clerks in total during her decades as a judge. That included one clerk during her 13 years on the D.C. Circuit Court — a duration where the National Review reminded its readers “she had never had a single black law clerk, intern, or secretary. Out of 57 employees, zero blacks.” That unfortunate trend continued after she became a Supreme Court Justice, when she “hired only one black clerk among the more than 100 clerks she has had.”
