Marcia Coyle of the National Law Journal has[1] the scoop.
I wonder how (if at all) the picture changes if you focus on who
wrote the briefs rather than who stood at the podium for oral
argument. The media invariably focuses on who gave the argument, but
most of the important work is done at the briefing stage. Of course,
if there are lots of names on a brief, it's hard to tell who actually
did the bulk of the work; focusing on who had the argument is much
easier.
