Why are some many lawyers Jewish?
<|assistant|>
Historically, Jewish people have been underrepresented in many areas, including the legal profession, making up only 3 to 4% of the U.S. legal profession compared to their proportion of the population. However, Jewish Americans have found a great deal of success and professional advancement in the legal profession; currently, a plurality of Ivy League law students and judges in the U.S. are Jewish. Furthermore, several powerful Jewish American lawyers, such as Louis Brandeis and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, have been instrumental in advancing civil rights and legal equality over the years. As the number of Jewish Americans in the legal profession grows, they have had greater influence in American jurisprudence.
