I read on one of my school's "secret" internal files that Sweet does not typically give exploding offers; however, the clerk noted that his particular offer was exploding because it was the last one and there was more or less a guy waiting in the wings for an interview.
I don't believe Sweet gives exploding offers but does make offers on the spot. I base this on the fact that last year he gave an offer to an applicant and continued with interview process, which signals that he was willing to keep that first offer open and interview others in case the applicant rejected the offer.
On the Koetle interview, be prepared to say that you are not scared of the long hours. His clerks learn a lot but they work really hard. (Long hours, six days a week, almost no holidays.) Last year he asked personal questions(but by no means inappropriate ones), as opposed to law-based questions.
Email from Mag Theodore Katz saying to call. But, when you call that number it is not the right number (very odd). Anyone have the right number for Katz?
what about all the judges who haven't been heard from? do they call tomorrow, etc or not until they've completed the first round of interviews next week?
you should feel free to call judges chambers. i have -- it turns out that many aren't interviewing (already hired), and that many others have already filled up interview slots (just not listed here). some are waiting out the process; but honestly, not many in the SDNY or EDNY.
I got what seemed like a form email from Batts earlier this week asking me to confirm by the end of the day Wednesday that I was aware that the clerkship was for two-years. Not sure what that means...
So I just called Weinstein's Chambers and they said he hasn't even started making calls yet and won't be interviewing next week. Can you all confirm that you received calls from Jack Weinstein in the EDNY?
well, it would help if someone else would call Weinstein's chambers too to confirm this. It just doesn't make any sense (why would people lie about hearing from him?)
Has anyone heard from any EDNY judges not mentioned here? (Korman, Amon, Johnson, any of the magistrates, etc).
It is equally troubling that someone would lie about getting a call from Weinstein or that someone would lie about calling and finding out there have been no calls!
I just saw this string of posts (but have not yet posted). My law school roommate received a call from weinstein around 1:45 yesterday. She is interviewing with him Monday morning (the 25)but only because she is going to be out of town before then. Hope that helps clear up some confusion
No - I am not lying. I had a long talk with the woman who answered the phone at his Chambers and she said that Weinstein hadn't even begun reviewing applications yet, let alone making phone calls. I stated that I'd heard he was making calls, and scheduling interviews, and she said that she was the one who made the calls for him, and she definitely had not made any yet. All of this is very, very weird.
Korman's done hiring. Really - the best thing to do is to call Chambers. I did it today for about 20 judges and it turned out that most of the people I'd applied to finished hiring before yesterday! Very frustrating.
Kram's clerk sent it to people who made a cut. It was essentially an invitation to interview, but they just wanted to make sure you knew it was 2 years if you came in...
Last year, when I interviewed with Koeltl, he said he did not give offers on the spot. But, then again, I didn't get an offer on the spot or otherwise so things might be different for his top candidates. Seriously, though, don't balk when he asks you about the hours (they're long) and be prepared to answer open ended questions like, "so tell me about yourself."
I haven't heard anything from Bianco. Supposedly he was going to make his decisions either yesterday or today, but I hope that the fact I haven't heard from him means he's undecided.
Concerned about getting crazy interview questions. Any help with what sort of questions I will be asked? Any ideas will help with the stress. Figure you all are great resources.
Yeah - I interviewed with Daniels last week as well and he seemed to indicate perhaps early October. At least that is what I am going on since I haven't heard. Good luck! Let us know if you hear anything.
Re: Daniels. Mine was about 20 minutes, as was the woman's interview who went before me. I think that is just his shtick (I hope). I wouldn't take that as an indication either way.
if judges aren't hiring on the spot, does anyone know approximately how long they take to make an offer after an interview? (and if you don't get an offer will you get a letter or something?)

Cote is calling, as is Koeltl
On the Koetle interview, be prepared to say that you are not scared of the long hours. His clerks learn a lot but they work really hard. (Long hours, six days a week, almost no holidays.) Last year he asked personal questions(but by no means inappropriate ones), as opposed to law-based questions.

He's interviewing Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday.
Does anyone know if Trager is interviewing only for 2008-2009, or is he interviewing for 2007-2008 as well?
Robinson (SDNY) called
have any judges called after 2:00?
Did most of these calls come in around 12pm? Or are they still trickling in?
what about all the judges who haven't been heard from? do they call tomorrow, etc or not until they've completed the first round of interviews next week?
you should feel free to call judges chambers. i have -- it turns out that many aren't interviewing (already hired), and that many others have already filled up interview slots (just not listed here). some are waiting out the process; but honestly, not many in the SDNY or EDNY.
Anyone hear from Judge Batts?
would you mind listing any of the ones you called, so that we aren't all harassing the judges's chambers?
why would weinstein call thurs. to schedule interviews for thurs.??
can anyone confirm if weinstein has made calls?
I got a call from Weinstein at about 2:30. He is doing interviews next Thurdsay through the following Tuesday.
last october, batts hired at least one, and if i recall two, two-year clerks. so don't hold your breath on that one.
I got what seemed like a form email from Batts earlier this week asking me to confirm by the end of the day Wednesday that I was aware that the clerkship was for two-years. Not sure what that means...
Woods called around 6pm today to schedule an interview for next week. So all hope is not lost even in SDNY.
Winstein called. The only other day available for interview is Monday.
Does anyone know if any of the SDNY judges are interviewing 3Ls before next Thursday?
Has anyone heard from Chin?
Karas called
Has anyone heard from Matsumoto or Bloom (EDNY)?
Called Chin's chambers. He's not hiring on the schedule.

Has anyone heard from Preska?
Preska has not started calling yet.

Anyone know if Francis makes exploding offers? Got calls from Dolinger and Francis...
So I just called Weinstein's Chambers and they said he hasn't even started making calls yet and won't be interviewing next week. Can you all confirm that you received calls from Jack Weinstein in the EDNY?
Really? I hope this is true...and if so, thanks a lot to those who said he had already called.
well, it would help if someone else would call Weinstein's chambers too to confirm this. It just doesn't make any sense (why would people lie about hearing from him?)
Has anyone heard from any EDNY judges not mentioned here? (Korman, Amon, Johnson, any of the magistrates, etc).

I also heard that Amon has finished hiring. Don't know about any of the other EDNY judges mentioned
Has anyone heard from/know about Mukasey or Scheindlin?
I also got a call from Weinstein. He is interviewing starting next Thursday. I really doubt that someone in his chambers said hadn't made any calls...
Mukasey resigned from the bench.
Patterson called a little before 4 PM today.
No - I am not lying. I had a long talk with the woman who answered the phone at his Chambers and she said that Weinstein hadn't even begun reviewing applications yet, let alone making phone calls. I stated that I'd heard he was making calls, and scheduling interviews, and she said that she was the one who made the calls for him, and she definitely had not made any yet.

Korman's done hiring. Really - the best thing to do is to call Chambers. I did it today for about 20 judges and it turned out that most of the people I'd applied to finished hiring before yesterday! Very frustrating.

I called Preska's chambers today--sounded like she hasn't finished scheduling but who knows.
Kram's clerks sends an email to see if you know it's a 2-year clerkship and whether you still want it or not.
Opps... meant to say "Kram's clerk sends..." I do have good enough grammar to have a clerkship! Ha!
Does Kram's clerk only said that if you've made some kind of cut? Or to everyone?
Judge Dearie, EDNY, made an offer to a graduate this morning who accepted it. I don't know if he's found his other clerk yet.
Kram's clerk sent it to people who made a cut. It was essentially an invitation to interview, but they just wanted to make sure you knew it was 2 years if you came in...
Owen called around noon today.
Does anyone know if Dearie is still making calls? Thanks!
Does anyone know if Robinson is done hiring?
Robinson is not done, but is only hiring for one position.

Pollak is calling.

Chin's chambers called today, Wednesday, September 20.
Good luck to all.
Any one hear from Kahn, McCurn, McMahon, Mordue, or Sharpe??
Does anyone know if Koeltl tends to make offers on the spot? If so, are they exploding? Non-exclusive?
Last year, when I interviewed with Koeltl, he said he did not give offers on the spot. But, then again, I didn't get an offer on the spot or otherwise so things might be different for his top candidates. Seriously, though, don't balk when he asks you about the hours (they're long) and be prepared to answer open ended questions like, "so tell me about yourself."
Wood has hired.

Has anyone who interviewed with Gleeson today heard from him?
or sweet?

Did Dearie say what his schedule would be?
patterson is done
Does anyone know the latest on Bianco (EDNY)?
Does anyone know when Trager started interviewing?
Koeltl, Cote, and Sweet are done hiring.
Has anyone heard from Seybert (EDNY)?
Bianco said he would let candidates know by Mon/Tues.
I'd also like to know if anyone who interviewed with Gleeson on Thursday has heard anything . . .
I interviewed with Gleeson and haven't heard anything, but he said he was deciding on Thursday night, so I'm assuming that means I didn't get it.
Has anyone heard from Conner?
Does anyone know if Conner gives on the spot offers?
Conner called on Wednesday to interview on Monday....
Does anyone know what SDNY judges are still hiring? I know a couple EDNY are still interviewing...
Bianco hired at least one clerk on Friday...

Griesa is done
preska and lynch have filled their2007-2008 positions
Where did Lynch hire from?
I believe Weinstein is done.
Did people hear from Weinstein?
How did you hear Weinstein is done?
I haven't heard anything from Bianco. Supposedly he was going to make his decisions either yesterday or today, but I hope that the fact I haven't heard from him means he's undecided.
Do most judges let you know if they're not hiring you, or do you just assume if you never hear that you didn't get it?
I think they send a letter if you don't get it
Can someone confirm Weinstein is done?
From what I know, it seems like Bianco is done...
Can someone confirm Bianco is done?
Any word on Mags. Maas and Pohorelsky?
Robinson is done.
Weinstein's Oscar rejection email says he's done.
What's the Oscar rejection email?
anyone know what the deal is with Sharpe or Kahn (NDNY)?
Concerned about getting crazy interview questions. Any help with what sort of questions I will be asked? Any ideas will help with the stress. Figure you all are great resources.
Oscar sent an email from Weinstein saying he was done hiring, and he was sorry he couldn't interview/hire everyone.
Just got a call from Mag. Gold (EDNY). I already accepted elsewhere so there is still hope out there for others!
Judge Chin hired today.
Any news on Seybert (EDNY)?
I interviewed with Daniels last Monday and he said he was going to take a couple weeks. Did anyone else get that during her/his interview?
Yeah - I interviewed with Daniels last week as well and he seemed to indicate perhaps early October. At least that is what I am going on since I haven't heard. Good luck! Let us know if you hear anything.
Re: Daniels. Thanks and good luck to you too! My interview was awfully short so I'm not too optimistic...
Re: Daniels. Mine was about 20 minutes, as was the woman's interview who went before me. I think that is just his shtick (I hope). I wouldn't take that as an indication either way.
