Best Answer

In 1990, Clarence Thomas was appointed by President George H.W. Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

In 1991, following his one year of court experience, Thomas was appointed by Bush as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Prior to his one year of judicial experience in 1990-1991, Justice Thomas's prior employment was Assistant Attorney General in Missouri, private law practice, legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education, and Chairperson of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
