Some people who could be considered for the Supreme Court, according to interviews with several Democratic advisers:

Harold Hongju Koh, the dean of Yale Law School. Professor Koh, a widely admired scholar who has worked in both Democratic and Republican administrations, would be the court's first Asian-American member.

Kathleen M. Sullivan, a professor and former dean at Stanford Law School.

Diana Gribbon Motz, a federal appeals court judge in Baltimore who has been a powerful dissenter on a largely conservative court.

Sonia Sotomayor, a federal appeals court judge in New York.

Other candidates include Walter E. Dellinger and Seth P. Waxman, both former solicitors general; David S. Tatel and Merrick Garland, federal appeals court judges in Washington; Elena Kagan, the dean of Harvard Law School; and Dennis Archer, who has served as a Michigan Supreme Court justice, mayor of Detroit and president of the American Bar Association.
