Stat(s) Of The Week: The Fastest Judge - Above the Law

"Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined nearly 800 runners in the annual Capital Challenge three-mile road race in Washington on Wednesday, placing sixth among federal judges and 277th overall. Top judicial honors went to U.S. Tax Court Judge Jeffrey Arbeit (17:48) on the men's side and to Judge Florence Pan (25:39) of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on the women's side. Kavanaugh, for his part, finished in 26:23."

"Jack Fitzhenry from the Office of Legal Counsel had the fastest time among male runners (15:30), while The Washington Post's Emma Kumer came in first among female runners with a time of 17:46. "All The News That's Fit to Sprint," a team fielded by The New York Times, was the top-scoring team overall. Judge Arbeit's Tax Court team, "540EZ," also won the dubious honor of Worst Team Name."

"The Best Team Name award went to NPR: "Defunded But Not Outrunded." Some of the other competition for the best (and worst) names included: The Devil Wears Hokas (DC Circuit Court of Appeals); Learned Feet 1 (DC Superior Court) and Learned Feet 2 (Federal Circuit); Call Me If You Chutkan (DC Circuit Court of Appeals); The Fast and the FRCP (DC Circuit Court of Appeals)."

"The race, which is sponsored by American Council of Life Insurers Inc. to raise money for Junior Achievement USA, featured members of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the federal government, and the Washington press corps."
