The U.S. Senate confirmed Srinivasan by a vote of 97–0 on May 23, 2013. Before his confirmation, Srinivasan served as Principal Deputy Solicitor General of the United States and has argued 25 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He has also lectured at Harvard Law School.
In 2016, Srinivasan was considered by President Obama as a potential nominee to the Supreme Court.
Srinivasan was born Padmanabhan Srikanth Srinivasan in Chandigarh, India. His father hailed from Mela Thiruvenkatanathapuram, a village near Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. Srinivasan's family first moved to the United States in the late 1960s when his father had a Fulbright fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley. The family briefly returned to India before finally emigrating to Lawrence, Kansas in the early 1970s when Srinivasan was four years old. His father was a professor of mathematics at the University of Kansas, and his mother taught at the Kansas City Art Institute and later worked at the University of Kansas computer science department. Srinivasan graduated from Lawrence High School in Lawrence, where he played basketball, sharing the court with future NBA star Danny Manning.
