## Instances of a female-majority court

Throughout history, men have outnumbered women on the highest court in each state. Instances of female-majority courts remain an uncommon occurrence, but in recent decades they have appeared more frequently. Currently, the United States Supreme Court has the highest percentage of women justices it has ever had, yet there has still never been a majority.
