Does anyone know if any federal judges in Cincinnati are hiring term clerks?

Anonymous said...

There are no circuit judges based in Cincinnati, you should repost this on the district court thread

Anonymous said...

John Rogers is interviewing grads.

Anonymous said...

Judge Gil Merritt has hired at least one (Georgetown).

Anonymous said...

Judge Richard Griffin only hires individuals with clerkship experience.

Anonymous said...

Is Griffin interviewing yet?

Anonymous said...

Don't know, I just wanted to let any potential 3Ls know about Griffin's policy of hiring former clerks.

Anonymous said...

Griffin is not interviewing yet according to chambers

Anonymous said...

Sutton has hired one grad so far.

Anonymous said...

Any word on which school Sutton hired from?

Anonymous said...

Sutton's hire was from Northwestern.

Anonymous said...

Griffin is calling to set up phone interviews

Anonymous said...

Siler is interviewing grads. Anyone know if he has made any hires?

Anonymous said...

Any word on what Judge Griffin's phone interviews are like? How many he is interviewing?

Anonymous said...

Re: Siler, he has been known to wait until as late as October to make offers, even though he does interview early.

Anonymous said...

Anyone receive an on sight invitation to interview with Judge Griffin after today's phone interviews?

8/14/07 at 2:47,

I did not receive an onsite invitation, and was told I'd hear either way next week. If that helps at all (which it probably doesn't).

Anonymous said...

Has Rogers made any offers to grads? Will there be room left for 3L applicants?

Anonymous said...

Rogers likes to hire at least 1 grad. Last year's was a top Chicago alum. He's also hiring a UK Law student. So, basically 2 spots are open for remaining 3Ls out there. I believe he's willing to teleconference. Good luck.

Anyone here get an on-sight interview with Griffin?

Anyone know anything about Judge Cook?

Gilman has hired one graduate.

Anonymous said...

Griffin has hired one according to chambers

Anonymous said...

I assume that means Griffin has called all the people he intends to...?

Anonymous said...

Don't know - I would assume so, but he did have two positions open, and I only know one person who accepted

Anyone know where Griffin hired from? Thought I had a good shot because I had a pleasant and what I would consider successful phone interview, so I'm curious to know about his final hiring decisions. The FLCIS has his positions filled as of 8/28

Anonymous said...

Any knowledge of Daughtrey's time frame and/or how many she has already hired?

Anonymous said...

Any word on McKeague?

Anonymous said...

Boggs has sent out the quiz.

Anonymous said...

Siler sent out letters today stating he is on vacation but will be considering applications when he returns - assuming this means he's still hiring.

Anonymous said...

What exactly does Boggs do with this quiz??

Anonymous said...

Hopefully he doesn't consider it too much, it's pretty damn hard!

Anonymous said...

Boggs looks at the quiz to see if prospective clerks share his interests -- it's definitely not the only thing he considers but all of his clerks have been pretty well-versed in at least some of the subject areas on the quiz.

Anonymous said...

What percentage of applicants does Boggs send his quiz to? Nearly everyone?

Anonymous said...

Any word on Judge Gibbons?

Anonymous said...

Daughtrey interviews grads and 3Ls at the same time, on the plan.

Anonymous said...

Gibbons has done some interviewing, but mostly in conjunction with Gilman's interviewing.

Anonymous said...

Norris has sent out a supplemental application.

Anonymous said...

anyone heard from boggs since the quiz?

Anonymous said...

Haven't heard...I assume he'll call in accordance with the Plan.

Anonymous said...

So anyone heard how many people get the quiz? Is it the majority of the applicant pool? Please chime in, those of you that have applied to him in past years.

You will probably have a couple of hours to respond.

Arnold anyone?

Anonymous said...

I heard Gibbons is interviewing as many as 35 or more people.

Anonymous said...

Gibbons does typically interview a number of people because she is focused on personality fit (something you can only determine after an interview).

Anonymous said...

Moore?

Anonymous said...

Martin is (likely) done. At least one from BU.

Anonymous said...

Merritt is done hiring.

Anonymous said...

Martin has also hired one from Michigan.

Does anyone happen to know when Judge Sutton will be making calls?

Anonymous said...

Judges who have hired at least one (as far as I have heard)
Rogers
Gillman
Cole

Judges who are done (as far as I have heard)
Griffin
Batchelder
Martin
Merritt


Please add to the list if you have any additional information

Anonymous said...

I'm not sure how many he has open now, but Judge Boggs is planning to keep at least one position open until the weekend.

Anonymous said...

Does anyone know about Judge Siler? Supposedly he started reviewing applications on Friday, Sept. 14, so I thought he might have started giving interviews

Anonymous said...

Are you kidding? If Judge Siler really just started looking at apps on the 14th, how could he possibly be calling already? (Hint: it takes more than 2 days to look over hundreds of applications and pull out a handful to call. Especially because any judge who didn't begin looking at apps the moment they could probably isn't the type of judge to spend every waking moment of their weekend reviewing apps).

Anonymous said...

I don't know about that, 3:20. You can easily cut out a good number of the apps by looking at discrete, objective criteria (e.g., grades and publication record). At least 50% of the apps can be screened based solely on resumes. A two-day turnaround doesn't strike me as absurd.

Touche 3:20. However, Judge Siler is supposed to begin interviews on Wednesday the 19th, so a Monday call didn't seem out of the question.

Anonymous said...

Siler has begun emailing invitations to interview

Anonymous said...

I have to say this - After 2 years of applications and 2 failed interviews, I finally landed a 6th Cir. clerkship (the judge is already listed as filled on this board, so I have no new information). For those of you who haven’t yet secured a clerkship this year, don’t give up - Luck favors the persistent.

Anonymous said...

Anyone here from Clay or Cole?

Anonymous said...

Clay interviewed some last week, not sure if he's done yet. Cole supposedly has one spot left.

Anonymous said...

Daughtrey hired one from NYU

Anonymous said...

does boggs give exploding offers? has he made any offers yet?

Anonymous said...

Moore hired a Texas 3L. Rogers made an offer to a Texas 3L.

Anonymous said...

Gibbons has hired 2 / 4

Anonymous said...

Sept 19 5:56 - When I spoke to Daughtrey's chambers to set up an interview they assured me the Judge did not make offers on the spot and would not make any until she had completed her interviews tomorrow evening. Was her NYU hire a current 3L or a graduate?

Anonymous said...

Siler hired a Georgetown grad

Anonymous said...

Kennedy hired yesterday morning from Michigan.

Anonymous said...

Cook hired one from Michigan.

Anonymous said...

Gilman has 3/4; he says he's waiting until tomorrow to make a final offer.

Anonymous said...

Sept. 19, 11:59: Daughtrey hired a 3L. She usually doesn't make offers on the spot, but she did yesterday. There should still be two spots open.

I think it's not very nice for judges to fill all their spots before they've met with all of their scheduled candidtes.

Anonymous said...

3:24, which judge cancelled on you?

Anonymous said...

Norris is not finished interviewing, not sure where or if he has hired from.

Anonymous said...

Norris was supposed to be interviewing his last person on Saturday, which is why I was surprised when someone above said he was finished hiring and had canceled interviews. He had said he was planning to finish interviewing before hiring, but it's possible he changed his mind I guess. Norris only hires one term clerk.

4:03 PM, are you confident Norris has in fact not finished hiring yet?

Anonymous said...

Boggs made at least one hire

Anonymous said...

McKeague hired 2 from Michigan.

Anonymous said...

Not sure firsthand at all, but possibly Norris thinned out the interviews that remained today and tomorrow (Saturday) as he gets closer to a decision, who knows, but I've seen another judge doing this.

Anonymous said...

Gilman is done.

Norris is definitely not done. I suspect 8:27 is right about him thinning out the interviews.
