Welcome to the Clerkship Notification Blog

Introduction


Welcome to the Clerkship Notification Blog for the hunting season of 2006. The goal of this blog is to provide a forum for law clerk applicants to share information regarding their clerkship applications. By using the "comments" function applicants can easily find and share information as to which judges have started calling applicants, which judges have started making offers, and which judges have completed their hiring. Posting is entirely anonymous (though you are, of course, free to sign your name).

Admittedly, this blog presents a classic collective-action problem (each of us has an incentive to read the information while not sharing the information we possess). Yet in spite of this, this blog was an overwhelming success last year and I believe the same will hold true this hunting season.

I encourage all applicants to share whatever information they have, all clerks to share whatever information their judges allow, and all bloggers to link to this site so as to widen our information gathering net.

How to find and share information


Below you will find posts for three categories of judges:

1) Circuit judges and U.S. court judges;
2) District and Bankruptcy judges;
3) State judges (including U.S. territories).

There are separate posts for each Circuit. The district judges are grouped by State/Territory. Finally, the State judges are also grouped by state, though in a different set of posts than the district and bankruptcy judges. Please make sure that you place comments in the correct category.

Examples:

--If you are posting information about Judge Guido Calabresi (2nd Cir.) go to the 2nd Circuit Judges post.

--If you are posting information about Judge John G. Koeltl (S.D.N.Y.) go to the New York District and Bankruptcy Judges post.

--If you are posting information about Judge John Gleeson (E.D.N.Y.) go to the New York District and Bankruptcy Judges post.

--If you posting information Judge Susan Phillips Read (NY App. Ct.) go to the New York State Judges post.

--If you are posting information about Judge Leo M. Gordon on the US Court of International Trade, go to the US Court of International Trade post (which is listed with the Circuit courts)

Announcements and Updates


09/23/2006:
To those who have landed the clerkships of their dreams, congratulations! To those who are still waiting, hang in there. And to those who know that their judges have already hired, it's not quite over. I have set up a post for those who want to explore other clerkship options.

09/20/2006: It's interview-eve. Best of luck to everyone tomorrow! In all the excitement of the exploding offers please don't forget to post to the blog when you have something to share.

09/14/2006:
Today's the day! Best of luck to everyone sitting by their telephones. I haven't felt this giddy since I was waiting for the LSAT results to come out. As per a user-request, a catch-all post has been set up to gather information on judges hiring outside or after the plan, and on unconfirmed judges who are accepting applications.

09/12/2006: I added a post containing a master list of links. It looks a little funny because setting up columns inside a post requires programing skills beyond my meager ability. But aesthetics aside, the list seems to be functional. Please leave a comment if any of the links do not work.

09/11/2006: Per-post comment feeds are now up and running. (Click here if you don't know what a site feed is.). Right now, in order to get to the feed URL, you need to click on the title of the individual post to which you want to subscribe (if you have the comments dialogue box you are in the wrong screen, back out and click on the posts title, not the comments buttom). Scroll to the bottom of the comments and copy the url of "Subscribe to Post Comments." I am working on placing these links inside the post (I tried to set up a post template, but it was messing up too much other stuff, so I have to add these links manually).

09/08/2006: I have just switched over to Blogger Beta. Under the old software, users could not create site feeds for the comments on individual posts, which is why I didn't bother with RSS before. But the Beta version supposedly allows you to create feeds for comments. Unfortunately, blogger is having issues with this feature and it is not currently working (it was posted in the known issues section on Friday, 09/08/2006). As soon as blogger figures out a fix I will incorporate this feature.

08/31/2006: It's almost go-time! For 3L's will be sending out their applications this Tuesday and the judges will start calling a week and a half later. In the coming weeks I will be e-mailing fellow bloggers asking them to link to this blog. In the meantime, I encourage all of you to e-mail your fellow students about this blog. For those of you who don't have to collate your applications because your school does it for you, you have no idea how easy you have. For every one else, good luck and try not to stress too much!


O7/11/2006:
Please ignore the time/date stamps on the posts themselves. They are arbitrarily set to keep the posts and archives in a certain order. The time/date stamps on the COMMMENTS, however, are accurate.

What is a Site Feed? How do I set one up?

Subscribing to a site feed allows users to have updates sent to them directly either via e-mail or via a news reader such as Bloglines.

If you are reading this post, it is likely that you don't already have a feeder set up, so I have provided step by step instructions.

1. Go Bloglines (www.bloglines.com) and create a user account.
2. Click on the "My Feeds" tab in the upper right hand corner (It is next to the "My Blog" and "Clippings" tab)
3. Once the My Feed tab is showing click on the "Add" link (next to "Edit" and "Options")
4. You will see a dialogue box asking for the URL of the feed to which you wish to subscribe.
5. Open up a new window in your internet browser and go to the Clerkship Notification Blog.
6. Click on the Title of the post for which you want updates. Scroll to the bottom of the comments and look for "Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)." Copy the link location of the of the "Post Comments (Atom)."
7. Now switch back to the Bloglines window. Paste the above URL into the dialogue box and click "Subscribe".
8. The next screen contains advanced subscription options, ignore these, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Subscribe".
9. You will now see the new subscription listed under the "My Feeds" tabs.
10. Repeat steps 2-9 for each of the posts to which you want to subscribe.

Once you've subscribed you only need to go to bloglines to check for new comments. HOWEVER! There is a lag time (anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour) between when a comment is posted and when it appears in your bloglines feed.

Post information on judges who hiring outside of the Federal Judges Lawclerk Hiring Plan. Please remember that the plan only applies to the hiring of current or rising 3rd-year law students.

Post information on judges who are following the plan but nevertheless hire later than the dates set by the plan.

Post information on judges who have not been confirmed but who are accepting applications.

Other Clerkship Opportunities

If a clerkship is something you really want, there are still opportunities out there.

First , many federal courts still have not hired. Please check this post for information (or contribute to it if you have information).

Second, many state judges have not hired yet. My school refers students to the Vermont Law clerkship guide, which contains info on state clerkships. You need a password, so check with your local career development office and see if they have access to that guide or a similar one. You can also check out the National Center for State Courts. I know that Alaska, for one, has a great Supreme Court and hires later than the dates set forth in the FJLHP.

Third, there are the unconfirmed judges who may not have clerks lined up. I don't have any specific information on these, but here is a list you might start with*:
