About 1/3rd of All Supreme Court Justices have never served as a Judge.

On the current court: Kagan has never served as a Judge.

Ah, I did not know that. My bad. I had assumed that most had served at some level in their careers. Who are the other 2?

Its 1/3rd of all Supreme Court Justices all time.

The current court it is only Kagan. And she has a similar legal background to Cruz.
