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.

Not at all to be snarky (just want to spare everyone massive embarrassment!), but Leslie Southwick is most definitely a man.

Can confirm Leslie Southwick is a man. In case you were wondering, Rhesa Barksdale is also a man. I don't think Southwick is any less competitive then other 5th Circuit judges. I know his Texas clerks both had multiple COA interview offers.
