Politico: “Out of roughly 140 lawyers in the White House, approximately 36 hold degrees from Yale Law School, more than any other law school… That figure doesn’t include the dozens of Yale Law graduates who have been appointed to agency positions throughout the Biden administration.”
“The density of Yale lawyers on the White House campus has become a bit of a joke among some staffers who say it’s hard to go into a room without bumping into at least one alumni. Yale Law degrees are so prevalent that the shared New Haven experience has also been a way to connect with colleagues, especially earlier in the administration when Covid kept people from working in-person and many staffers were trying to get to know each other over Zoom.”
