Why should lawyers seek admission to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar?

Arguing a Supreme Court case may be unlikely. But admission to the Supreme Court Bar has long-term perks.

No bar exam needed. U.S. attorneys with 3+ years of practice who are in good standing are eligible for admission to the Supreme Court.
Watch future proceedings from special seating. Nabbing public seats for Supreme Court hearings and decision announcements can be tricky, but the Court reserves a special section for members of its Bar.
Access the Court’s library. A select list of VIPs can get into the U.S. Supreme Court library, including Members of Congress, attorneys for government agencies, and admitted attorneys.
Join a prestigious club. Only a handful of U.S. lawyers are eligible to argue cases before the Supreme Court.
Add an impressive resume bullet. Display your status on your CV, bar record/license, firm site, social media, etc.
Get a certificate. The experience includes an impressive certificate of admission from the U.S. Supreme Court for your collection with the option to purchase a frame.
