U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, speaking at the University of Alabama School of Law last week, said the nation's highest court is a "'very coastal, urban and elite law school court,' alluding to the Yale and Harvard pedigrees of most of the jurists, who are also predominantly from communities on the East or West coasts. 'That seems kind of crazy to me and not a good thing,' she said," according to The Tuscaloosa News.
Many have suggested that Supreme Court nominees should be graduates of law schools other than Harvard and Yale.
