This is not correct. According to his chambers, Judge Friedman is done for the term that starts in 2008, but will be accepting applications in 2008 for 2009.
Judge Robertson sent an email today: ". . . this e-mail is to advise that I will NOT be interviewing, at least not on the usual timetable, or indeed anytime soon. My clerkships remain open – I have simply decided to wait, perhaps even until next spring, before filling them . . . ."
Has anyone heard from DC district judges today? It's almost close of business on the East Coast, and I'm starting to freak out that I haven't gotten any calls.
Based on my experience last year, many DDC judges were in trial or otherwise unavailable during D-Day, so they weren't in any rush to make calls until later on when their schedules permitted.
9/12, 11:30: I had heard Lamberth had filled his term clerk position(s) about a month ago. Any word on whether he called for the career position, or for term clerks for future years?
hmm...what have people heard about working for Kessler? This is not the first time that I've heard she's difficult, but I'm curious to know whether anyone has specifics?
Judge Lamberth is becoming Chief next year and thus has one extra spot to fill. Judge Leon also has a spot "come open" for Fall 08 and is interviewing for that as well as for spots in 2010.
Walton has two year clerks at staggered terms - and will only hire with some experience, preferably, a state clerkship. Great to work for though! -- Former Walton intern.
Please think twice about applying to Kessler. I have heard from at least 5-6 attorneys in DC who clerked in DDC that she is simply awful -- she fires a clerk almost every year, mostly without due cause. I don't think it's worth the stress.
I got an email from OSCAR saying that a one year clerkship w/ Judge Sullivan was available, Aug. '08 - Aug. '09. I think his other clerkships ran October to October. Just wondering why it opened up now.

Judge Friedman has already hired (a graduate) for his one open slot in 2008.
My understanding is that Judge Collyer will only hire graduates, not 3Ls.
Judge Huvelle hired one clerk over the summer.
Bates is done
Judge Friedman is done until 2010.
"Judge Friedman is done until 2010."
This is not correct. According to his chambers, Judge Friedman is done for the term that starts in 2008, but will be accepting applications in 2008 for 2009.

Same e-mail from Robertson received. Translation: I don't like the current pool and intend to hire a graduate.
Robertson sent out the same email last year but nonetheless hired a 3L in September.
Then what is the point of Robertson's e-mail if he plans to neither adhere to the hiring plan or his own intentions as he himself described?
perhaps simply to deter phone calls to his chambers from overeager applicants
Kollar-Kottelly has already filled her slot
Judge Penn will not be taking any more clerks.

Anyone hear from DC judges?
Not yet...
Has anyone heard from DC district judges today? It's almost close of business on the East Coast, and I'm starting to freak out that I haven't gotten any calls.
I haven't gotten any either from DC, though I'm not super competitive (20%/T14)
Based on my experience last year, many DDC judges were in trial or otherwise unavailable during D-Day, so they weren't in any rush to make calls until later on when their schedules permitted.
So what DC judges are done or have called?

Judge Leon made calls early, interviewing for 2010

Lamberth has called and scheduled interviews.
I heard that Kessler is horrible to work for...
9/12, 11:30: I had heard Lamberth had filled his term clerk position(s) about a month ago. Any word on whether he called for the career position, or for term clerks for future years?

Note, though, that Judge Leon won't hire a 3L except in extraordinary circumstances.
Walton has two year clerks at staggered terms - and will only hire with some experience, preferably, a state clerkship. Great to work for though! -- Former Walton intern.
What start date is Walton currently hiring for?
Any word on Roberts? I know chambers has taken "parlay" info. but don't know if they acted on it?
What exactly does "parlay" mean in this context?
Has anyone heard from Kennedy (DDC?). I haven't seen anything written about him yet...
Kennedy is currently interviewing, per a call to chambers last Friday.
kennedy is still interviewing; he only has one spot open, though
What is with Kessler's re-posting on FLCIS? Didn't she already begin interviewing?
maybe she didn't like the applicant pool? I dunno.....
which DC judges are still hiring?
Lambreth hired a Texas 3L for 08-09 and 09-10
Huvelle is done.
Please think twice about applying to Kessler. I have heard from at least 5-6 attorneys in DC who clerked in DDC that she is simply awful -- she fires a clerk almost every year, mostly without due cause. I don't think it's worth the stress.
Kennedy has filled his open slot; anyone hear anything about other DDC judges (Roberts and Robertson?)
Collyer is done.
What happened with Leon (thought he had an open slot for 2008)?
Judge Kessler has filled one of her spots and has one still open
Judge Kennedy hired a Georgetown grad. Any word on his other clerk?
Urbina has hired for 2008, but is scheduling interviews for 2009.
Does anyone know why Judge Sullivan is hiring at this time of year?
Is Judge Sullivan interviewing? Does he have spots available?
I got an email from OSCAR saying that a one year clerkship w/ Judge Sullivan was available, Aug. '08 - Aug. '09. I think his other clerkships ran October to October. Just wondering why it opened up now.
Any word from Judge Robertson?
Has anyone that applied to Sullivan in the latest cycle gotten a response.
