All nine supreme court justices are Ivy League graduates, specifically Yale or Harvard. It is almost impossible to get a clerkship in the appellate courts without one, and the appellate clerkship is how you move on to a position as AG or the Federal Circuit Courts.
Incidentally, the Federalist Society is a huge feeder for federal and state benches, and they recruit heavily out of the Ivys. So even within the most prestigious pair of schools in the most competitive legal environment, there is an in-group within the in-group that boosts your odds of moving up the chain.
