With the Supreme Court's latest term all wrapped up, Bloomberg Law reporters take a look at an ongoing issue at the high court: A lack of gender diversity among advocates.

This term, only 17% of Supreme Court cases were argued by women, a statistic that's gone largely unchanged in recent history.

The numbers are even worse in BigLaw. While men from large law firms argued 51 times at the high court last term, female BigLaw lawyers argued just eight. Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin.

Guests: Goodwin Procter's Jaime Santos and Bloomberg Law intern Jake Holland.

Producers: RJ Jewell and Nicholas Anzalotta-Kynoch.
