#8

Some of our law school class met Thomas earlier this year and he indicated there were too many Ivy League clerks (and Judges for that matter) on the Court and the Court would benefit from different perspectives. He stated most top ranking law school graduates are qualified to clerk but age, maturity and work ethic matter a great deal. According to him, his clerks are all 30+ years old. Also, from reading his autobiography, his view of Ivy league schools is made pretty clear in there.

 Sotomayor

Jul 24, 2009, 2:38 PM 

 Re: Souter, David Hackett


#27

I think you'd have to be crazy to send it anywhere other than the S.Ct. and anytime other than after confirmation. Jumping the gun pre-confirmation might be seen as very improper, leading to an auto-reject. Even if the risk of that is small (which I think it isn't), the corresponding benefit of sending it early is almost non-existent. Sotomayor certainly won't be seriously reviewing S.Ct. clerkship apps until post-confirmation. The only "exception" is that if you know someone who knows Sotomayor (e.g., a prof you're close to). Then you might try to get on her radar informally, though even then, I wouldn't send an app.
