#1

Wilkins resigned his commission several months ago to return to private practice. He should be listed as a former judge, not a senior judge.

It's tough to keep up with the almost 2000 judges in our database, and we haven't even entered the bankruptcy or state supreme court judges yet! Wilkins has been changed from senior to former.

Wilkinson only hires for June. That's why he has the blurb about how you can't take a bar examination during the clerkship.

Unless Andre Davis is confirmed very soon and hasn't already hired his extra clerk or two for 2009-10, it's hard to see how these people are going to just "slip in" with another judge a month before their clerkships were set to begin.

 4th Circuit

Jun 22, 2010, 1:00 PM 

#114

NYU's clerkship manual shows the past clerks for the 4th circuit as having the second highest GPA range and average (after the D.C. circuit). it is significantly higher than the 9th and 2nd circuits (by significant, i mean like .05-.1, which is a lot). why is it so hard to get a 4th circuit clerkship? it can't be wilkinson, b/c he's rarely taken from nyu (if at all).

Depending on how far the data goes back, it might also be due to Luttig, who was a significant feeder. Niemeyer also is a semi-feeder.
