Arguably the most powerful judge in the world was married to one of the most sucessful legal recruiter. This would be an astounding coincidence if they were two randomly selected humans.
However, they arent random. The court justices are not firewalled from the lawyers that argue before them or politicians, and have a high degree of access.
Like the judges themselves, their partners likely socialize widely with elite lawyers, including those that argue before the court.
