Law Clerk Addict

We're receiving many reports of judges partially or fully hiring in June and July (particularly in the Second, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits). I'm told that August generally is not very active for clerkship hiring, but let me know if that's not the case. E-mail me at clerking.info.guy@gmail.com. If you're a rising 3L, you should have all of your materials ready to send out by now. By all indications, many judges who typically hire in September have hired early this year. And because of the decrease in law firm jobs, there are more applicants than ever. So apply broadly. Good luck!

I'd like to update our list of Supreme Court clerk hires for OT 2010 and OT 2011. Please e-mail me at clerking.info.guy@gmail.com, and I'll post an updated list when I receive some new information.

Many clerkships will be ending in the next few months. I thought it would be helpful to start an open thread about the job market for lawyers after their clerkships. I'd imagine that it isn't as strong as it was in 2007, but has clerk hiring picked up from this time last year? Are many firms or government agencies recruiting clerks specifically? Have your judges been helpful in finding you jobs? Any tips for people looking for post-clerkship jobs?

Thanks for e-mailing hiring me with hiring news. I've been attempting to add all the new tips, and I'm slowly going through the comments from the past six months to add that news as well. Please e-mail me with any hiring news at clerking.info.guy@gmail.com.

Thanks so much for sending in the news about clerkship hires. I am updating all of the pages, with an emphasis on 2011-12 hires. Please e-mail me the names of the clerks' schools, the term in which they will clerk, and the year they graduated. My e-mail address is clerking.info.guy@gmail.com. I received an e-mail question that I thought I'd ask our expert readers to answer.

I'm slowly but surely going through the comments of the past six months and updating the site. Unfortunately, there are more than 100 courts and just one of me. If you see gaps in the 2011-12 or 2010-11 clerkship listings, feel free to post a new comment in the thread or e-mail me at clerking.info.guy@gmail.com. My primary goal is to update information for the 2011-12 hiring season, since there will be a lot of activity in the next few months, and I want to provide updated and accurate information for clerkship seekers. Also feel free to suggest blog posts the could contain helpful information about clerkship searches.

The University of Michigan's Career Services office has posted a very helpful list of pending and recently confirmed judicial nominees and their contact information.

Which judges have already hired clerks for 2011-12? Of those judges, who is hiring 3L's off-plan? I've also received word of a few judges hiring for 2012-13. So far, much of the early hiring appears to be in the D.C., Second, and Ninth Circuits. Let me know what you're hearing in the comments, or e-mail me at clerking.info.guy@gmail.com.

Greetings. I'm Clerking Info Guy, and I'll be updating Law Clerk Addict for the 2011-12 hiring season. Please send me any tips about recent hires. My e-mail address is clerking.info.guy@gmail.com. I'll also attempt to blog somewhat regularly with clerkship news and tips.

I'm going to be updating the new hire listings over the next week or two, and I will attempt to include any information that has been posted in the comments over the past few months. I'll also add newly confirmed judges. Please let me know if any information is missing or incorrect. And good luck on your clerkship searches!

After a longer than expected delay, we hope to get the 2011-12 cycle upgrades up and running in the near future.
