There are two Supreme Court bars in common D.C. parlance.
The first is the quintessential Supreme Court Bar that lawyers must belong to in order to practice before the United States Supreme Court. The second is a tongue in cheek way of indicating a small batch of repeat player Supreme Court specialist attorneys with high levels of success.
While the second definition is a colloquial description of this group of attorneys, there is little empirical evidence supporting the proposition that they are more successful than other attorneys.
