: The Volokh ConspiracySupreme Court Justices Who Hadn?t Been Judges
By Eugene Volokh
People are remarking that Solicitor General Elena Kagan, who has been much talked about as a possible Supreme Court nominee, would be the first Supreme Court Justice since Chief Justice Rehnquist to be appointed without having earlier served as a judge. But it?s worth remembering that Rehnquist himself wasn?t an outlier: Of the eight Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon appointees, a majority ? White, Goldberg, Fortas, Powell, and Rehnquist ? hadn?t served as judges. (The ones who had served as judges were Marshall, Burger, and Blackmun.)
