Ketanji Brown. received a B.A., magna cvm laude, from Harvard-Radcliffe College in 1992, and a J.D., cvm laude, from Harvard Law School in 1996.
(I changed the Latin honorifics because the SW word filter is silly)
As a physics major, I was pretty good at solving linear partial differential equations back in the day, but I couldn't have gotten into or through Harvard Law. So she clearly has me beat. Satisfied??
Oh, wait, let me fill in a little of her judicial experience
She served as a law clerk for Judge Patti B. Saris of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts from 1996 to 1997, Judge Bruce M. Selya of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit from 1997 to 1998, and Justice Stephen G. Breyer of the Supreme Court of the United States during the 1999 Term.
After three years in private practice, she worked as an attorney at the U.S. Sentencing Commission for two years, as an assistant federal public defender in Washington, D.C., for two years, and again in private practice for three years. She then served as a Vice Chair and Commissioner on the U.S. Sentencing Commission from 2010 to 2014.
In 2012, President Barack Obama nominated her to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where she served from 2013 to 2021. President Joe Biden appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in 2021 and then nominated her as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022. She took her seat on June 30, 2022, becoming the first Black woman to sit on the Court.
Speaking of judicial experience,
