Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer senior associate Andrew Tutt, a graduate of Yale Law School in Connecticut, was on a Zoom call with his client when he cinched a win in the first U.S. Supreme Court case he had argued. The 51-page ruling sided with Le Roy Torres, a U.S. Army veteran who was in a yearslong job discrimination battle with Texas.

“It was a very moving moment,” Tutt recalled. “The second that the opinion went up on the website, someone on the team saw it and announced that we had won, and people were overwhelmed with emotion.”
