E.D. Cal hiring info:

1. England - no longer hiring (has two permanent clerks)

2. Karlton - Hires 2-year law clerks (staggers them, so only one position open every year). Accepting apps this year.

3. Damrell - He has one permanent law clerk and his second is finishing up her second year. May or may not be hiring this year. Check to confirm.

4. Shubb - Accepting apps for 2 positions

5. Levi - done, from what I hear, but check to confirm. He has more than 2 clerks b/c he is Chief (has strange staggered schedule - hires one clerk for May and then the other two for the fall. Has one rules law clerk, but has filled position with former law clerk).

6. Garcia - has reduced case load (no longer does civil L&M, and has one clerk help with criminal). Does not appear to hire regular law clerks, but confirm.

Do the judges who call the first day pretty much complete their calls the first day? I.e. if a judge is listed here as calling, and they didn't call me today, is it over?

Anonymous said...

I am no expert but I would guess no. Especially since many judges first round of clerks may end up taking other district or circuit clerkships before they get to them, so that they will still have spots available. With Circuit I think its over quicker, but with district you have to give it a couple weeks

carter (CDCA) has made calls.

Is Fogel done?

Anyone know anything about Conti?

Conti hires late. Don't expect a call in the near future.

The questions just clutter the page. People will post if they know. Chill.

Easy for you to say, you've probably been called.

Jenkins (NDCA) is not reviewing applications yet and will probably start his hiring in about a month

Anyone know about Hamilton or Wilken?

Judge Pfaelzer (C.D. Cal) will likely not be reviewing any applications until next Spring or Summer for the 2007-2008 term.

anyone know if matz gives exploding offers?

Anonymous said...

Manella?

Anonymous said...

Manella is now on the CA court of appeals

Anonymous said...

what's an exploding offer?

Anonymous said...

Are people not posting or have quite a few judges just not called yet?

Anonymous said...

Percy Anderson is scheduling interviews.

Anonymous said...

Any word on Fees? Anybody heard from him?

Anonymous said...

Feess is a finicky, hard-nosed character. I think I already have a rejection from him in my pile. I'll check later today and re-post if so.

Anonymous said...

an "exploding offer" is when judges make offers during the interview (rather than calling back at a later time) so you're kind of put on the spot.

Anonymous said...

I'd suggest that whether an offer is "exploding" or not depends more on the dealine for response rather than the time of offering. Some judges are known for requiring immediate or near immediate (1-2 hours) responses to offers, otherwise the offer is lost. Some law reviews are also known for their "exploding offer" practices.

Schiavelli is interviewing.

Anonymous said...

Got an email from Matz's judicial ass't - "Judge Matz will not be in a position to extend you an offer and is therefore unable to schedule an interview." Artful.

Anonymous said...

A friendly reminder from a current law clerk....i am sure none of you have done so bc you are reading the blog...but try not to call chambers and ask when the Judge is going to start making calls or calling to say you are extremely interested. I can tell you we get 25+ calls a day and to be honest it really does not help you.

Some judges are just a little slower than others. I work in NDCA and we still have not looked at the apps. We've been pretty busy w/ our case load.

Anonymous said...

yes, and some judges really are still calling- so if you haven't been called yet, there's still a chance!

Anonymous said...

Otrero is done.

Anonymous said...

Could the clerks and others out there who know of judges still reviewing or not yet reviewing applications please post who these judges are? Thanks!

Anonymous said...

Which judges are still looking? I know Synder is because she was in NY during the interview days. Jenkins hasn't started yet either. Who else?

Anonymous said...

According to a staff person in his chambers, Judge Takasugi (C.D. Cal.) will not be hiring a clerk for the 2007-2008 term. (I believe he has a permanet clerk.)

Anonymous said...

It appears that Patel and Wilken are done (on FLCIS)

Anonymous said...

Marshall's hiring for 2008-2009 already. Geeze.

"We have received your application for a clerkship in Judge Consuelo B. Marshall's chambers in the Central District of California. At this time we are hiring for the Fall of 2008. Please let me know your interest in being considered for a position at this time. Also, if you have already accepted a position please let me know."

Anonymous said...

Any chance anyone out there is still accepting applications?

Anonymous said...

i would guess some magistrates, maybe, if you're willing to do that- otherwise i was told that there are going to be at least two new appointees on in the CD this year, so that would be another chance. good luck!! (i think i'll probably be in the same boat as you...)

Does anyone have info about judges in the S.D. Cal. (Huff, Gonzalez, Miller, Whelan)?

What is the deal with Hayes? Has he interviewed/hired anyone? His listing on FLCIS indicates he hires late in the process - like March??

I wouldn't trust FLCIS--call chambers.

I'm a 2L so this info is useless to me but I wanted to pass it on to those of you who are still looking for a clerkship. Judge Hayes (S.D. Cal.) just (9/29/06) posted this notice:

and when did she hire?

Anonymous said...

Jenkins is done, per the guy who answered the phone in his chambers.

Anonymous said...

although, maybe i'm wrong. what i heard was "judge jenkins won't be hiring again until august of 07." but i suppose that might mean he is going to hire in august of 07 for an opening in september 07. but really, that's a pretty slender reed. i'm just adding it for the sake of completeness.

Any word on Anderson?

Is Wilken definitely done?

Per FLCIS Wilken is done.

anyone know if burns (SD) even hires temporary law clerks? he is on OSCAR, but not sure

Anonymous said...

I called to Burns' chambers, and the posting on OSCAR is faulty, as he has career clerks.

Anonymous said...

Judge Major (S.D. Cal.) has hired a clerk for the 2007-2008 term. Her other clerk is career.
