Yale may not have moved to number 1 until the last 20 years, but it has been in the top five or so since at least the 1930s - before some of the current justices were born and in plenty of time to put out lots of Supreme Court judges of their own. There was Byron White, a fine justice who was appointed in 1962, so we know it’s not totally impossible for a YLS grad to make it onto the court. It just hasn’t happened very often.
