Sri Srinivasan(b. 1967) - Chief Judge of Appeals Court for DC
Monica Márquez(b. 1969), Hispanic lesbian - Colorado Supreme Court justice
Neal Katyal(b. 1970) - Former Deputy Solicitor General, most active minority lawyer before the Supreme Court
Paul Watford(b. 1967), black man - Ninth Circuit Judge
Amit Mehta(b. 1971), Indian man - DC District Judge
Andrea Wood(b. 1973), black woman - Northern Illinois District Judge
Leslie Abrams Gardner(b. 1974), black woman - Middle Georgia District Judge
Ketanji Brown Jackson(b. 1970), black woman - DC District Judge
Leondra Kruger(b. 1976), black woman - CA Supreme Justice
Tamika Montgomery-Reeves(b. 1981), black woman - Delaware Supreme Justice
Fabiana Pierre-Louis(b. 1980), black woman - New Jersey Supreme Justice
Danielle Conway, Dean of Penn State Law; Camille Nelson, Dean of William Richardson Law; and Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Dean of Boston University Law, are all more academic choices, but since none of them is particularly distinguished, I find them very unlikely picks. If a Law Dean is nominated, I think Jennifer Martinez at Stanford is most likely.
Normally, Watford, Srinivasan, and Katyal would be at the very top of the list, and I would still prefer one of them. Out of the alternatives, however, I think TMR and FPL are the best picks politically - if Biden’s first priority is to have young Justices who will pass the Senate, he will nominate one of them.
