ABSTRACT
President Barack Obama, defending his appointment of Judge Merrick Garland, a white male, to replace Justice Scalia on the U. S. Supreme Court (Totenberg 2016).
“I believe that diversity of experience matters. It matters that someone has represented someone other than corporate clients. That they’ve had real experience with people who can’t afford lawyers, that they’ve had real experience trying to fight for the public interest, that they’ve had real experience doing something other than representing corporate clients.”
