How scrupulously is Ellison following the interviewing guidelines?

No idea on Ellison.

Anyone else get an email from Harmon?

Last year Ellison contacted recommenders early to express interest in particular applicants, but followed the guidelines in making the actual calls. Not sure about this year.

Someone asked about a week ago... I applied to T. John Ward and haven't heard anything. Don't know what that means, since no one's posted about him.

McBryde info taken from last year's blog. Very intersting: http://www.ll.georgetown.edu/federal/judicial/dc/opinions/00opinions/00-5016a.html

I applied to Harmon, but didn't get an email one way or the other yet.

Harmon... no idea what the story there is.

A couple of my profs made fun of McBride in class, not a good sign. Quoted some of his more unusual decisions...

Does anyone know if Wayne Justice has hired a clerk this week? He hired one this summer already

Anonymous said...

Ellison done.

Anonymous said...

Judge Ellison is the first to give me the names of the clerks and the schools they attended in my rejection letter. It is handy for knowing what I am up against...

Anonymous said...

Hughes is interviewing through the end of this week.

Anonymous said...

has anyone heard anything from Head yet?

Anonymous said...

I think Ellison was just sending notice that he's hiring from Yale and Harvard. Lame.

Anonymous said...

i concur about ellison, but am not surprised. he's a tad snooty. after all, he is a federal judge :)

Anonymous said...

Concur on Ellison. Inexplicably poor form. Perhaps the almanac heading noting a lack of common sense on his part is right.

Anonymous said...

Head has called. Jack too.

Anonymous said...

Way to go Ellison. I hope those ivy leaguers get along great down in Texas. I bet they'll contribute a lot to the state and local bars. GOOD FOR YOOOOOOOU!

Anonymous said...

anyone heard if Clark has hired? (Bankruptcy judge in San Antonio)

Anonymous said...

Does anyone know if Judge Cardone has hired? I know that she has interviewed, but do not know if she hired anyone.

Anonymous said...

Did Martinez (El Paso) hire anyone yet?

Anonymous said...

The Ellison email with the hire names was a first - and very poor form - it was like, look at me, I hired from Harvard and Yale - whatever - and now I bet those folks are getting some emails!!

Anonymous said...

Kazen called yesterday for interviews.

Saldana ambushed me yesterday (9/29). As in, clerk called, then "Wanna talk to the judge?" She sounds great.

Seriously, who did Cardone hire?

Anonymous said...

I'm also curious about who Cardone hired?

Anonymous said...

Hate to do this to yall, but has anybody heard about: Kinkeade, Boyle, Maloney, Smith, Sparks, Biery, Garcia, Ludlum, Junell, Montalvo, Kent, Folsom, Schneider, or Ward?

Anonymous said...

geez, yall come back with a shorter list!

Anonymous said...

I talked to Cardone's office last Friday at 430 PM, and she still hadn't decided. Yet, somebody on Saturday says she is done. Is someone saying that a federal judge decided this kind of thing and called you on a Saturday?

Anonymous said...

Well when i interviewed with Judge Cardone last week, she indicated that she would be making a decision by the end of the week. I took that to mean Friday and I wonder if whomever posted that particular post saying she was done, did so becasue they have not heard by Friday. I assumed that she was done becasue I did not receive a call, but i do think it is weird that i have not received a DING letter yet either, especially if she decided on Friday. Did you call Friday at 430 El Paso time or another time zone?

Anonymous said...

Just Called Cardone--she has definitely made her decision already!

Anonymous said...

It's true about Cardone. I just verified, and I gotta say - POOR form in not letting people know by email or post. I guess if you don't get the job, you don't deserve to know unless you ask. Very poor form.

Anonymous said...

Anybody know anything about Kazen?

Per FLCIS today, Ludlum has no openings now

awww...is someone upset about not getting into Harvard or Yale? errr I mean a clerkship? I heard state court in Kansas is still hiring. Perhaps yuo should brush up on your intelligent design?

Anonymous said...

Wow. That last post just exemplifies why I cannot wait to get away from the majority of my law school classmates.

From a non-spiteful, non-Ivy Leaguer: Congratulations to those who have gotten clerkships, chin up to those who haven't (yet).

Always fun to see people try to be clever and witty but still end up looking dumb. (HINT: If you want to make a condescending post, make sure you proof read it before you submit it).

Anonymous said...

any updates on

Buchmeyer
Crane
Folsom
Heartfield
Jack
Koenig
Lindsay
Ramirez

And to the person who stated "keep your chin up," I got no calls until two weeks into the process, and I now have 3 interviews scheduled (1 state supreme, 1 district court, and 1 federal bankruptcy), so definately keep your chin up (and I only went to the #98 law school, non-Ivy!).

Jack is still looking to fill her one vacancy.

To the one who advised another to "make sure you proof read it before you submit it," the correct spelling is "proofread." Its one word.

To any perspective clerkship applicants, Judge Jack has a sudden opening for a two-year clerkship in her chambers starting in August 2007. Applicants should apply soon as possible via OSCAR or US Mail.

Does anyone know anything about some of the Magistrates in Texas with openings: Arce-Flores (S.D), Love (E.D.), Koenig (N.D.), etc?
