Senior judges will continue to take clerks as long as they keep hearing cases. The exception is that older judges (think 75-90+) will switch to career clerks at some point. There is no indication that Barksdale won't hire as normal though.

Don't know if it's related, but she changed her OSCAR posting from only accepting paper applications to only accepting OSCAR applications today. Would be consistent with her interviewing people / giving exploding offers.

 Hiring plan

Jun 21, 2009, 7:33 PM 

 Re: Garza, Emilio M.


#28

The hiring plan only applies to 3Ls, so there is really no such thing as hiring an alumni applicant through the program, since the program doesn't apply to them. But yes, there are some judges who don't consider any applicants "early." On the 5th Circuit, Chief Judge Jones is the best example of this.

I would say that you have a better chance only if you're a Texas or Mississippi law grad. Look at her hires and compare them to where her chambers are and where she went to school: She's currently a professor at Mississippi College School of Law AND she went to school at UT. So, in essence, it seems as though she has a preference for students in these areas / schools.

The rumor is that Jones interviewed one alum early because of extremely exigent circumstances, but she has not done any other interviews, let alone extended any offers. She is a strong believer in the plan.

#94

Well, Judge Barksdale is definitely the first one I've come across that plainly states on the first page that he "is NOT adhereing to the hiring plan." Then, when you look at the clerkship info page, he allegedly "follows the hiring plan." I'm going to go with 1) does not follow the plan, and 2) has likely already hired.
