The text "Ivy U. Law" on the board suggests that the cartoonist thinks many Supreme Court justices have Ivy League educations. This framing implies a criticism of the culture in elite educational institutions, where students may be perceived as disengaged or lacking in independent thought, which could reflect negatively on their future roles in the judiciary. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the cartoonist's perspective is that it shows the belief that many Supreme Court justices have Ivy League educations.
