does anyone know how early Murphy is interviewing?
and how many slots?

Anonymous said...

Benton is calling now (Friday).

Anonymous said...

Murphy is interviewing on Wed. I think that she has 3 slots. She is aggressive about getting clerks, so I assume that she has called everyone by this point.

Anonymous said...

Has Arnold, Riley, or Smith contacted people yet?

Anonymous said...

This Circuit seems like it has the most judges behind the curve in calling. Either that, or more judges on this Circuit pick clerks who have better things to do than check blogs.

i think this circuit may also use a lot of connections-based & local hiring? regularly take clerks from local schools on the advice of a trusted prof?

Anonymous said...

Actually, lots of the judge hire only from top schools, but you must have a reason to be in this part of the country. Judges might give one spot every few years to a local school.

Anonymous said...

Has anyone scheduled an interview with Bye?

Anonymous said...

FYI -- May I recommend not posting your inclinations to certain judges, as current clerks read this as well.

Anonymous said...

I agree with the previous post - I scheduled an interview with him and would be thrilled to get it, especially since I am from the state.

I wonder how many of these posters are just messing with people's minds to psyche us all out ...

Any recent news on Bowman?

Anonymous said...

Any news on the fine judges in Little Rock (i.e., Smith or Arnold)?

Anonymous said...

I think Arnold is retiring at the end of the month? You should check on that to confirm, though.

Anonymous said...

Arnold is not retiring, but is only hiring one clerk. Smith has made calls.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for checking on Arnold!

Any news on Loken?

Has anyone who interviewed heard from Murphy?

I've heard Murphy is making offers.

Any news on the enigmatic Bobby Sheppard?

Anonymous said...

Gibson still has spots left.

Anonymous said...

I believe Arnold is done.

Anonymous said...

Has anyone heard from Judge Lay?

Anonymous said...

Loken and Murphy had hired at least one each by the end of last week.

Anonymous said...

Riley, Morris, Benton news anyone?

Anonymous said...

Murphy is only hiring 2 clerks. For the 2 spots available, she hired one on Friday.

Anonymous said...

Has Gruender made offers yet?

Anonymous said...

I had heard that Judge Lay finished his 2007-08 hires back in the summer.

Anonymous said...

Gruender has hired at least one clerk.

Anonymous said...

Did Gruender hire today? Any word on how many he would be hiring?

Anonymous said...

Gruender hired three. He made offers on Friday.

Anonymous said...

"Thank you for applying. I have filled my one available clerkship for 2007-08.

Judge Morris S. Arnold"

Anonymous said...

do you know where murphy hired from?

Anonymous said...

Michigan and Minnesota. She hired two last year; one from Duke and one from St Thomas, so she has four clerks total for 2007-2008.

Anonymous said...

Anyone know where Colloton hired from?

Anonymous said...

I heard he took one of the clerks Alito hired last year while still on the 3d Cir., although I dont know where s/he is from

Anonymous said...

Colloton took one from Harvard.

Anonymous said...

Gruender: Notre Dame, WUSTL, one other

Anonymous said...

i don't think that's correct re: murphy's hires.

or at least it seems one of those schools' career office is unaware of that hire...

Anonymous said...

well I know that Murphy hired one from Michigan and one from Minnesota during interviews this year and has one coming from St Thomas which she hired last year. I am fairly certain the fourth clerk, who I know was hired last year, is from Duke, but that is the only one I am a bit uncertain about.

Perhaps career services at one of these schools is incorrect, or perhaps, like at my former law school, the students simply forget to tell career services.

Anonymous said...

i don't think there's a Michigan hire

Anonymous said...

Gruender's third is from Duke

Anonymous said...

Colloton has four clerks this year but I am uncertain if he is going to stay at four or go back down to three. This years are from UVA, Chicago, Harvard, and Yale. The clerk from Yale was originally hired by Alito before the promotion. Rumor has it that he is clerking for Alito next year.

Anonymous said...

well unless Murphy's current clerk was mistaken, she has a michigan hire

Anonymous said...

did you talk to the clerk after fri morning?

Anonymous said...

yes, monday afternoon

Anonymous said...

thanks for the info about Colloton's clerks!

Anonymous said...

does anybody know anything about Melloy?

hired?

where from?

Anonymous said...

Melloy has hired at least two I think, one, if not both, from Iowa Law School

Anonymous said...

Benton's third is from Univ. of Missouri I think

Anonymous said...

definitely is a Michigan clerk at Murphy...

Anonymous said...

Where are Benton's first two from. Is there one spot left?

Anonymous said...

Bobby Shepherd from Arkansas is done.

Anonymous said...

would it still be worthwhile to put in an application for Bye?

Anonymous said...

You should send in the app and see what happens. I *think* he has a couple of career clerks, so I am not sure how many spots he would have open.

Anonymous said...

Riley conducted some interviews last week.

Anonymous said...

does Beam still do any hiring?

Anonymous said...

Beam is beginning interviews next week for a position. I'm pretty sure it is just one spot, though it may be two.

Anonymous said...

Benton anyone?

Anonymous said...

Benton hired one from Duke, one from U. of Mo- Columbia, and one from Wash. U. in STL. Not sure if that means there is still one spot open.

Anonymous said...

anyone know what schools Loken hired from?

Anonymous said...

Per an email I just received, Duane Benton is done hiring - no idea where he hired from...
