she said we come this far by faith and she closed it, talking about constance baker motley.t. not as well known as thurgood marshall. she certainly should be because she helped integrate those southern university and made really important decisions on expanding the rights of women. it was quite a day for america, quite a day for democracy. >> there were three final i haves. he said he would pick a black woman. the other two, michelle childs, california supreme court justice, both highly respected. why do you think he pick judge jackson? >> you're right. the finalists were all highly credentialed. but judge jackson has federal public defender experience. she's been in the trenches. she's seen the criminal justice system from the point of view of the accused as well as the point of view of the judge and has been part of the federal sentencing commission. so when president biden announced her today, he didn't just talk about diversity in terms of being the first black woman on the court. he talked about the fact that she was a lower court trial judge. not since sotomayor have w

that is two more than constance baker motley, who became the first black woman to argue a case before court. she was part of the legal team that thurgood marshall assembled that won the historic case brown versus board of education. in 2019, judge leondra kruger participated in a discussion about supreme court clerkships. here is some of what she had to say. >> part of what's ultimately led me to apply for the clerkship and part of what i think ultimately helped was the set of relationships i had built up after law school, when i started working and had actual day to day working relationships with practicing lawyers, who both provided the kind of kick in the pants that jamie was describing, to get the applications in. and who provided the support, those who vouched for me, for my potential as a lawyer. i think that ultimately lay the groundwork for my being able to get the job. >> joining us now for our first discussion of the supremely qualified are amanda tyler, professor at uc berkeley school of law, coauthor with ruth bader ginsburg of justice, justice, thou shalt pursue, fighting
