Re: Holmes, Jerome A.	#3
how do you know judge holmes is interviewing? when the hiring listing states "rumor" what is the "rumor" normally based on??

Holmes rumor	May 9, 2009, 5:56 PM
Re: Holmes, Jerome A.	#4
The rumor is based on a notification posted on this site and a comment on another blog that he scheduled an interview with an applicant. Obviously we can't verify an anonymous comment (hence why it's listed as a rumor), so feel free to take it with a grain of salt, but we thought it would be useful to report.

2010-11	May 17, 2009, 12:01 AM
Re: Baldock, Bobby Ray	#5
Judge Baldock's clerks from Alabama and W&L will be serving two-year terms, so the demographic information is the same as that for the 2009-10 Term.

2008-09 Term	May 17, 2009, 12:03 AM
Re: Baldock, Bobby Ray	#6
Judge Baldock's clerk from Seton Hall didn't stay for 2008-09. The W&L listing is correct. Because the Judge's permanent clerk was on leave, he also had two, one-year term clerks for 2008-09. One was a recent grad from Regent, the other was a recent grad from Northwestern.

Re: Murphy, Michael R.	#7
Too bad this information is not correct. (I've checked a few other judges I know for sure, too.) I am friends with a Murphy clerk and that person's school is not listed above.

Self-reported data	May 22, 2009, 12:01 AM
Re: Murphy, Michael R.	#8
I'm sorry that the information for Judge Murphy and some other judges is not correct. Unfortunately, there are always going to be errors when you're dealing with self-reported data. As of this moment there are literally 2,026 law clerks in the database, and most of the district court information hasn't been imported yet, so even a modest 5% error rate would mean that 100 data points are wrong. In the future LCA might be up for sending questionnaires to chambers a la U.S. News, but in the mean time we have to put our trust in users like you, particularly when it comes to future hires.
– clurker


Demographics	May 22, 2009, 4:18 PM
Re: Murphy, Michael R.	#9
The 08-09 Law Clerk Demographics for Judge Murphy are correct. The correct 09-10 Law Clerk Demographics are: St. Louis University 1, Syracuse University 1, and University of Utah 2. Judge Murphy is currently interviewing candidates for the 10-11 term.

Anybody know what's going on with Judge McConnell's OSCAR listing? It was updated on June 4, 2009 to list four new clerkships (8/28/2010-8/28/2011). Does that mean that McConnell will be hiring for his successor? The news articles say McConnell is formally resigning in August (see http://www.sltrib.com/News/ci_12555212).

Temporary Clerkship	Jul 12, 2009, 10:20 AM

I've seen a one year temporary clerkship that starts in Sept. 2010. It says not eligible for federal benefits. Can they really not give you benefits at all? Or do they mean retirement benefits and life insurance would is fine with me? I'm guessing this is listed as temporary b/c his normal career clerk is on leave.

Re: Gorsuch, Neil M.	#112
It's usually more helpful to list the actual hires than simply to write, "Judge XXX is done for 2011." Unlike the latter, the former can be confirmed by people who actually know that Judge's hires.

Gorsuch was calling my recommenders around this time last year, so I don't see why he wouldn't be well underway, if not done by now this year. Just because the posts above don't have schools/grad years doesn't mean they're BS.

110 here. BS was probably too strong - I just thought it was vague and wanted more info. I'm trying to decide which judges I should ask a prof of mine to call, so it would be helpful to cross the judge off the list if he's really done.

except	Jul 22, 2010, 3:51 PM
Re: Tymkovich, Timothy M.	#132
Except it is impossible, literally, for a judge to fill spots through 3L online applications. OSCAR blocks 3L applications from going out until September. Yes, judges may be filling slots through online apps, but if they are doing so, they are only filling the slots with alumni applicants. That said, the mere fact that Judge T's OSCAR profile says he prefers online apps does not mean he isn't taking paper apps from 3Ls on the side. Lots of judges take that approach.
