The guy who reported the Kleinfeld interview is an alumni applicant, so technically Kleinfeld wouldn't be going "off plan" by interviewing him, since the plan's timetable only applies to law student applicants.

I would guess the 2009 reference was gratuitious and she is interviewing all alumni. But, if she wanted to say that, she could have just said law graduates instead of 2009 law graduates. Odd since I don't think Nelson had a reputation for being anti-WE.

M. Smith & Law Review	Jun 13, 2009, 2:17 PM

Is Milan Smith's Law Review requirement a hard and fast rule? I'm assuming the answer is "yes" since he emphasizes it on his OSCAR listing, but I wonder if he knows that at some schools Law Review membership is not tied to academic achievement and uses affirmative action.

I'd imagine that Smith means what he says about law review. That said, it takes about 30 seconds to send him an Oscar application, and you might even try to use your cover letter to explain why your non-law review experience shouldn't DQ you.

Natural lull	Jun 17, 2009, 5:28 PM
	#45
This is probably a natural lull time for a lot of judges... those who really wanted to jump start the process and interview/hire early have had a long time to do so, while those who prefer to wait and see only have a couple of more months to go. Throw in the fact that a lot of them are probably preparing for June/July oral arguments session and it's not hard to imagine why there hasn't been much activity this week on the 9th (or with any other court for that matter).

Agreed	Jun 17, 2009, 7:27 PM

I agree with #45 that this is just a bad time for a lot of judges. A friend of mine clerking for a circuit judge (not on the 9th) who traditionally hires early said that s/he has not looked at any applications in weeks because of oral arguments coming up soon.

Kleinfeld is Off Plan	Jun 22, 2009, 10:41 PM
Re: Kleinfeld, Andrew Jay	#56
Kleinfeld is off plan. He's explained why in Howard Bashman's "How Appealing" blog. http://howappealing.law.com/20q/2003_05_01_20q-appellateblog_archive.html#200242242 "I don't follow the law clerk hiring plan, because it is impractical for Alaska. I hire before, during, and after the officially stated times. As a practical matter, I now expect to do much of my hiring during the summer following second year and during the fall of third year. Applicants applying in advance of the law clerk hiring plan shouldn't wait on recommendations from their professors before sending applications. "The reason I don't follow the plan is that it would be too great an imposition on an applicant to make them travel to Fairbanks, Alaska for an interview, so I squeeze in a very few interviews when I am Outside on calendars. Often the interview is a long dinner at a good restaurant. The timing of my calendar trips and the sparseness of interview slots requires that I spread them out more than the hiring plan allows for. Also, I make better judgments on whom to hire when I can spread out the decisions and hire the law clerks one at a time."

Ridiculous	Jun 30, 2009, 11:38 AM
Re: Wardlaw, Kim McLane	#67
This notion that Judge Wardlaw "fired at least one clerk a year" is ridiculous; while there was talk on another blog years ago about her management style, my understanding (though I could be wrong) is that in over ten years on the 9th Circuit she has fired one clerk and had one other leave voluntarily. I believe all of the gossip about her being difficult to work for dates back to that period, and (even if it ever did) no longer has a basis in fact.

Re: Reinhardt, Stephen Roy	#100
Little known fact: most people think Reinhardt's 2 day/3 hour/42 minute rule is a reference to the court of appeals' jurisdiction over certain agency actions (as codified in 28 U.S.C. 2342), but in fact it is a hat tip to his strict "no-smoking" rule for all his clerks (see 18 U.S.C. 2342, making it unlawful to possess, sell, or distribute contraband cigarettes or smokeless tobacco).

A clerkship with either Judge Fletcher or Judge Reinhardt would be an amazing opportunity. In the event you are making that decision, it should probably come down to dynamics in chambers. At that level of a clerkship, you can't really go wrong. If you're looking for "feeder" records, you might want to check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_law_clerks_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States. It lists SCOTUS clerks with former clerkship annotations as well.

Fletcher strictly adheres to the hiring plan. Reinhardt doesn't; he's almost always finished by mid-summer. In other words, your hypothetical doesn't work. You would have had to make a decision on Reinhardt before knowing whether you would get an offer by Fletcher. Anyway, if you really are so exceptional to be able to choose between these two judges, then you can get better advice from professors and recent graduates of your law school than you can from this website.

I don't think it's possible to have an exact ranking of something like this, but I'd assume the most competitive clerkships are with Kozinski, Reinhardt, O'Scannlain, Wardlaw, and Berzon. All of the clerkships with active Ninth Circuit judges are very difficult to obtain, though.

Re: Ranking	Apr 24, 2010, 6:21 PM

I'd second that it's not possible to have an exact ranking, but I'd go off of the 'feeder' stats of the judges and then the geographic locations: 1. Kozinski; 2. W. Fletcher/Reinhardt; 3. O'Scannlain; 4. and then the SF/LA/Hawaii judges; 5. and then everybody else. The feeder stats are imperfect though. Like Kozinski has amazing feeder stats but the nature of his chambers may scare some people away, making them slightly less desired. And the same goes for Reinhardt.

The only one I know of who takes applications from 3Ls before the hiring plan is Kozinski. Maybe also Reinhardt - not sure about that. But many of the judges hire alumni before the hiring plan kicks in, which is why there aren't all that many 3Ls who clerk on the 9th Circuit.

it seems like the 9th circuit is really getting off to an early start. Callahan is done for 2011. Silverman is presumably done with 2011 and has started for 2012. McKeown has started for 2011. MDS is done for 2011. perhaps the recession will make district court clerkships a de facto prerequisite for the majority of 9th circuit clerkships (since the 9th circuit is almost a year ahead).

New clerkship information website	Jun 20, 2010, 4:09 PM
	#472
It looks like LCA is not being updated. The comments here continue to be very helpful for the 2011-12 clerkship search. I am attempting to aggregate and update all of the information that has been posted on a centralized website: http://clerkshipupdates.blogspot.com/ It's very low-tech, but I'm trying to create an aggregate source of clerkship hiring information. So far I have updated the D.C. and Ninth Circuits, because that is where much of the 2011-12 hiring has taken place. I will update the rest of the site in the next week or so. Please post any hiring news in the comments page of the website.

I am set to clerk for a CoA judge in the fall. I am wondering whether it is possible to take a week off (4 days of work) for Christmas? Do judges take this time off? Any suggestions for how to approach the issue with the judge?

It depends on who you are clerking for. Best thing is to wait and see what the mood is like when you arrive. You can always call chambers in advance to ask questions if your plans can't wait, but you risk setting a red flag, again depending on your judge. General advice: consider your time his/hers for the next 365 days starting in the fall.

I have a district court clerkship for the year after I graduate (2011-12) and I'm thinking I want to try for the 9th circuit for the year after. Should I send my materials out this fall and indicate I am looking for a 2012 position, or should I just wait till the spring. Any advice would be appreciated.

Unless you know the judge is hiring (a few are already on OSCAR, I think), I'd wait until they post OSCAR openings this fall. Otherwise your application might not even get looked at. Last fall, about 30 circuit judges posted 2011 openings. I'd start mailing applications to judges who haven't posted in late spring 2011.

Re: #476 Many 9th Circuit judges hire early. This is especially true for alums/district court clerks. I'd send materials as soon as OSCAR positions post (fall 2010, winter 2011). If there's a judge for whom you're particularly interested in working in 2012, I'd contact chambers now to inquire whether the judge is accepting 2012 applications now (barring any instruction not to contact chambers). If you wait until spring 2011, most 9th Circuit judges will be reviewing apps for 2012 clerkships as 2012 would likely be filled no later than winter 2011. For alum/district court hires on the 9th Circuit, I'd say the majority of judges hire approximately 1-1.5 years in advance. Example: I know several 9th Circuit offers/hires in spring 2010 were hired for 2011-12 clerkships.
