I heard Charles Breyer has already hired his one term clerk (an alum), and OSCAR seems to confirm this (he lists the position as filled for 08-09).

Anonymous said...

Does anyone know if Judge Sabraw is adhering to the hiring plan for current students? Her FLCIS form says applications are accepted "Open until filled." I've called a bunch of judges who have the same thing listed, and they claim to be adhering to the hiring plan.

Breyer is done. Alsup is calling

Anonymous said...

Is Alsup calling alums or current students? C'mon folks, include this information in your posts.

Anonymous said...

alums for certain; not sure about students.

claudia wilken is done hiring

Judge Dana Sabraw is male. This is information you might want to know (you know, in case you call chambers asking questions about "her" hiring plan).

;-)

Anonymous said...

Ha, good to know. I had thought "he" was a "she," too!

Anonymous said...

Besides Alsup, does anyone know if the other Bay Area district judges are currently interviewing alums?

Anonymous said...

Henderson and White have permanent clerks. Conti is not interviewing anybody yet. Illston is maybe away on vacation (her calendar is voided out 'till after labor day and nobody picked up the phone). Schwarzer is interviewing grads, maybe selectively. FYI, he sits by designation (1st, 6th and 9th) almost entirely these days.

Anonymous said...

ATL blog posted about Jenkins' intent to leave NDCal for a state appellate spot. Anyone know if he will still hire for 08-09?

Anonymous said...

Juddge Chesney also has permanent clerks.

Chesney advertised an opening on FLCIS.

Armstrong is now interviewing.

Schwarzer is done.

Just heard that Judge Andrew Guilford in the Central District of California (Santa Ana) is accepting applications on OSCAR, even though there have been reports to the contrary.

Matz in the C.D. is done.

Where the heck are all the NDCA judges?

How about Shubb or Damrell (EDCA)? Jones (SDCA)?

Anonymous said...

Anyone heard from Collins, Feess or Morrow in CDCA?

Anonymous said...

Collins has been interviewing alums for a while, and I doubt that she'll be calling any law students. She has posted on her FLCIS site: "Judge Collins will ONLY consider applicants
that have obtained their Juris Doctor degree with a minimum of two years legal experience."

Morrow's husband passed away recently (http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2007/09/07/law-blog-obituary-california-judge-paul-boland/), so she may be behind in calling.

Anonymous said...

I heard from her chambers that Collins has hired already for 08-09.

Anonymous said...

Damrell's not hiring.

Anonymous said...

Jenkins: rumor that he has applied for state appellate position. Chambers said yesterday that he won't be calling for another 4-6 weeks.

Anonymous said...

Can someone please tell me what they have heard from Feess, and if they understand what it means?

Anonymous said...

Feess apparently just began reviewing apps.

Anonymous said...

Feess seems to be saying that if you're going to have to travel to the Central District to interview with him, and you already have travel plans, let him know.

Anonymous said...

Fogel made calls on Tuesday morning.

Snyder is calling

Burrell or Shubb?

Judge Jensen?

Walker? It looks like some of the judges in NDCA and elsewhere have jury trials scheduled for this week. Does that mean they'd be super busy?

Anonymous said...

Has anyone heard from the SDCA judges (Gonzalez, Huff, Jones, Sabraw)?

Anonymous said...

I have not heard from SDCA, but a comment on Nuts & Boalts reveals they got a call from Gonzales. (Boalt applicants don't seem to be participating in the Clerkship Notification Blog very much)

Has anyone heard from Wilson?

Anonymous said...

Miller will not be reviewing apps for awhile.

Anonymous said...

I imagine most NDCA judges (Walker, Whyte, Patel, Ware, etc.) are done, right?

Huff (SDCA) has called.

Burrell, Jones, and Conti are still in the process of reviewing applications.

Guilford has made calls.

Anyone have an interview with a San Diego judge?

Has anyone heard from V. Walker (NDCA)?

Anonymous said...

I spoke with Patel's, Whyte's and Jenkin's chambers midday on Tuesday, and none of those judges had even started calling (the receptionists uniformly seemed surprised at the suggestion that there might be some reason they would be). No word since. Anyone heard anything different?

Any news from Chesney or Ware (NDCA)?

How do you contact judges' chambers in CD-CA? Do you call the court clerk listed on the court's website?

Anonymous said...

Gutierrez is finished scheduling interviews (per call to chambers).

Anonymous said...

Gutierrez has already filled one spot, and strongly perfers to fill the second with someone with a few years work experience out of law school.

Morrow is not hiring for this term.

Anyone heard from Real or Schiavelli?

Morrow is interviewing for next term, 11:34am is incorrect.

Has Judge Samuel Conti (NDCA) ever hired a female law clerk?

Any news from Baker Fairbank or Real (CDCA)?

Ware (NDCA) has hired at least one, per UChicago stats

Anonymous said...

CORRECTION: Ware has scheduled one Chicago interview (per Chicago's listserv)

Anonymous said...

While Judge Gutierrez (CDCA) has hired a clerk with several years experience as one of his first two clerks, it is not clear that he has a strong preference for clerks with work experience.

Anonymous said...

Judge Napoleon Jones in the S.D. called yesterday.

Anonymous said...

As far as my count, I have the following judges not having made calls -

NDCA: Conti, Chesney, Jensen
CDCA: Real, Fairbank
SDCA: Sabraw, Miller, Houston
EDCA: Burrell

Is that correct? Anyone hear from any of these judges?

Anonymous said...

i don't think whyte has called

Anonymous said...

Chesney (NDCA) has two career clerks and therefore is not hiring.

Anonymous said...

Where are you getting that info about Chesney from? According to FLCIS she is hiring for the '08-09 term.

Anonymous said...

What about Feess (CDCA) and Jenkins (NDCA)? Although I have heard the rumors about Jenkins leaving to take a state appellate court position.

Anonymous said...

Notwithstanding the FLCIS posting, I've been told by multiple sources that Chesney is not hiring, including current NDCA clerks.

Anonymous said...

Jenkins has applied to the California Court of Appeal (it is not a rumor, there have been media reports about it). I've heard that, as a result, he will be holding off hiring for a while.

Anonymous said...

Per call to chambers, Chesney is hiring (currently reviewing applications).

Anonymous said...

Wright (CDCA) is not hiring

Anonymous said...

Jensen has filled his one slot.

Anonymous said...

Can you tell me where Jensen's hire is from?

Anonymous said...

Jensen's chambers told me they were still reviewing apps on Friday. I think that secretaries and clerks are just told to give this response to everyone who inquires about clerkships.

Why is Whyte not hiring? He hired last year. Is he simply not hiring, or just holding off for awhile?

I got a rejection from Miller (SDCA) that said he already hired. Don't know if it's true or not.

11:02, do you mind sharing when you received this rejection? I thought Miller wasn't hiring for awhile.

Anonymous said...

Yesterday by mail. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be telling the truth.

I got the Miller rejection letter too. A few weeks ago someone at his office assured me he would not be hiring until late October or November.

I got a rejection postcard from Sabraw, which had a very funny typo.

In the postcard, he called himself a "United Sates District Judge."
