Today President Barack Obama nominated O. Rogeriee Thompson--a judge on the Rhode Island Superior Court--to a vacant seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and Denny Chin (S.D.N.Y.) to a vacancy on the Second Circuit.
Biographical information about both nominees is available below the jump.
* The Associated Press reports on President Barack Obama's efforts to transform the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
* Affected by the economic downturn? Justice Sonia Sotomayor is also a victim.
* Is the Supreme Court irrelevant? One law professor thinks so.
* Justice Clarence Thomas comments on his silence during oral arguments.
* Eleven attorneys, judges, and law professors are hoping to replace Judge Terence Evans (7th Cir.), who will be assuming senior status in January 2010.
Gerard Lynch, formerly of the Southern District of New York, was officially confirmed to the Second Circuit on September 18, 2009.
The Washington Post reports that President Obama has nominated Virginia Supreme Court Justice Barbara Milano Keenan to a vacant position on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
Various media sources are reporting that President Obama will likely nominate Judge Denny Chin (S.D.N.Y.) to a vacancy on the Second Circuit. Please note that while some articles are treating this nomination as a done deal, nominations are never official until formally made by the President.
Roll Call reports that the Senate expects to act on several of President Obama's lower court nominees in September.
President Obama has nominated district judge Thomas Vanaskie (M.D. Pa.) and law firm partner Jane Stranch, respectively, to vacant positions on the United States Courts of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the Sixth Circuit.
Now that we are about a month and a half before the official start of the 3L rush, it is a pretty good time to examine the state of pre-plan hiring.
Let's start with the bad news (well, for 3Ls at least): a whopping 47% of active federal court of appeals judges have engaged in at least some pre-plan hiring activity, with 20% of all COA judges being either completely done with hiring or not hiring at all.
Additional charts and commentary below the fold.
This site has largely avoided discussing the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor (2d Cir.) to the United States Supreme Court, if only because there are numerous other websites providing far more coverage. However, those interested in the Sotomayor nomination or Sotomayor's confirmation hearing might find this list of primary sources compiled by the now-ironically-named ConfirmThem useful. The resources include not only documents Judge Sotomayor has submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee, but materials related to her previous Second Circuit and Southern District of New York nominations as well.
Yesterday's blog post on President Obama's recent district court nominations provoked an interesting discussion on the forum about why President Obama has not nominated Cass Sunstein and certain other prominent individuals to federal judgeships, which then branched into a related discussion of how the judicial nominations process works.
Since several of my earlier posts, particularly those reporting on home state Senator recommendations, presupposed knowledge of the nominations process that everyone might not have, it seems appropriate to provide a brief introduction to the procedure followed in the Senate and how it may influence who is nominated and when they are nominated. Those who already have basic knowledge of this process can skip the rest of this post, but for everyone else, more information can be found below the fold.
Virginia Senators Jim Webb (D-VA) and Mark Warner (D-VA) have recommended that President Barack Obama nominate Virginia Supreme Court Justice Barbara Milano Keenan to a vacant Virginia seat on the Fourth Circuit. Those who followed the judicial nomination battles during the George W. Bush presidency may remember that all three of President Bush's nominees to this particular seat on the Fourth Circuit--Defense Department General Counsel William Haynes II, McGuireWoods partner E. Duncan Getchell, and district judge Glen Conrad (W.D. Va.)--were filibustered or otherwise obstructed since the seat became open in 2001.
As usual, the final decision of who to nominate rests solely with President Obama, so those wishing to send clerkship applications to Justice Keenan this summer in hopes of her being on the Fourth Circuit by fall 2010 should do so at their own risk. This advice is particularly apt for this seat, given its long history of obstruction and that the primary reason Getchell's nomination failed was due to President Bush's refusal to select a nominee approved by both Senator Webb and former Senator John Warner (R-VA).
In a stunning piece of news, the ABA Journal reports that Chief Judge Karen Williams (4th Cir.), who had been on former President George W. Bush's short-list for a Supreme Court appointment and often been called the most conservative judge on the most conservative circuit, retired from the bench yesterday due to an illness. Note that former Judge Williams had to retire, as opposed to taking senior status, because she had not yet attained the minimum age to assume senior status. As a result of this development, Judge William Traxler (4th Cir.) has become the new Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit.
On a related note, this resignation, as well as the four other vacancies on the Fourth Circuit, all but guarantees that the Fourth Circuit will attain a liberal majority during the Obama presidency.
UPDATE #1: More information, including a quote from Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, is available here.
UPDATE #2: The Wall Street Journal reports that Judge Williams resigned because she was recently diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease and did not wish to have her future decisions questioned.
According to Above the Law, Chief Judge Alex Kozinski (9th Cir.) has been cleared of judicial misconduct charges stemming from an incident last year involving content on a personal website.
As expected, the close of the 2008-09 Supreme Court term has resulted in a flurry of news articles about the Court. Below are some recent articles about the United States Supreme Court that are worth noting but are too short to justify full posts of their own:
* The L.A. Times reports that the Ninth Circuit is no longer the most reversed geographic circuit, at least this term.
* As everyone knows by now, yesterday marked Justice David Souter's official last day as an active justice.
* Chief Justice John Roberts believes that appellate briefs have become far too long.
* The New Yorker pokes fun at Justice Clarence Thomas's history of being silent during oral arguments.
Harper's Magazine reports that Chief Judge Alex Kozinski (9th Cir.) has issued an order, apparently in response to recent attempts to investigate or discipline fellow Judge Jay Bybee (9th Cir.), holding that the Ninth Circuit's internal disciplinary mechanisms cannot be used to punish a judge for conduct that has occurred prior to the judge's ascension to the bench.
Below are a few interesting articles about federal appellate courts that are too short to justify their own posts:
* The American Constitution Society held an interesting appellate judge panel on the topics of caseload, attorney quality, and judicial pay.
* Where will Supreme Court justices spend their summer vacation? The Legal Times has the answer.
* Speaking of the Supreme Court, retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor made a rare appearance on the David Letterman show the other night to promote her new book.
The Chicago Tribune reports that a blogger has been arrested for making death threats against three Seventh Circuit judges. The judges? Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook, Judge Richard Posner, and Senior Judge William Bauer.
Today's New Jersey Law Journal contains a very detailed profile of Judge Thomas Greenaway, Jr., (D.N.J.). As you may recall, President Obama recently nominated Judge Greenway to the vacant New Jersey seat on the Third Circuit. The NJLJ describes Judge Greenaway as a "centrist," and, in addition to providing some information about his personal background, examines some of the most prominent cases in which his opinions have been affirmed or reversed.
President Obama has officially nominated District Judge Thomas Greenaway, Jr., (D.N.J.) to the Third Circuit seat held by Justice Samuel Alito prior to his elevation, and has also nominated District Judge Beverly Martin (N.D. Ga.) to the Eleventh Circuit. The official White House press release, which contains additional information about the nominees, is available here. Those following judicial nominations will recognize that these two nominations are consistent with President Obama's previous appellate nominations, which have all entailed elevating sitting judges to higher courts.
Clerkship applicants should note that both Judge Greenaway and Judge Martin are (or soon will be) taking applications for 2010-11 clerkships, so those interested in a federal appellate clerkship might benefit from submitting applications to them now since, given the Democratic tilt of the Senate, both nominees will almost certainly be elevated to their respective circuit courts prior to 2010.
Today's New York Times has a very interesting article discussing the relationship between Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor (2d Cir.) and Judge Jose Cabranes (2d Cir.), which started twenty years before they became colleagues on the Second Circuit.
A poster on the TLS board has compiled a list of clerkship placement statistics based on self-reported data law schools provided to U.S. News. As I mentioned in this forum thread, I have multiple problems with this ranking system (both with how the poster interpreted the data and with the way U.S. News gathered the data), which I hope to discuss in more detail in a future post.
Ever wonder which United States Supreme Court justices are living the high life and which are living paycheck to paycheck? Clerquette has the scoop at Underneath Their Robes.
It looks like the $250,000 bonuses biglaw doled out to outgoing United States Supreme Court law clerks may now be a thing of the past, thanks to the economic recession.
In belated judicial nomination news, Judges Andre Davis (D. Md.) and David Hamilton (S.D. Ind.), President Obama's respective nominees to the Fourth Circuit and Seventh Circuit, have been voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and referred to the full Senate.
As federal court watchers know, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit currently has two vacancies, one of which has been unfilled since 2005 (and created upon the elevation of John Roberts to the U.S. Supreme Court) and the other recently opening up after Judge Raymond Randolph took senior status in November 2008. While many continue to advocate that President Obama re-nominate failed Bush nominee Peter Keisler to one of the vacant seats (see, e.g., here, here, and here), a recent report from the Indianapolis Times blog indicates that Obama may be vetting Indiana Supreme Court Justice Frank Sullivan for a spot on the D.C. Circuit.
What do we know about Justice Sullivan? Here are some basic tidbits from his Indiana Supreme Court biography:
Frank Sullivan, Jr., was appointed to the Indiana Supreme Court effective November 1, 1993, by Governor Evan Bayh. Sullivan came to the state's highest court with a background in government service and private law practice. He served as Indiana State Budget Director from 1989 through 1992. Prior to state service, he practiced law in the Indianapolis office of Barnes & Thornburg.
Sullivan is a native of South Bend. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College (A.B. cum laude in 1972), Indiana University School of Law – Bloomington (J.D. magna cum laude in 1982), and the University of Virginia School of Law (LL.M. in 2001).
Because retiring Justice David Souter chose not to hire any law clerks for the 2009-10 term, there are no jobless Supreme Court clerks for soon-to-be-Justice Sonia Sotomayor (2d Cir.) to inherit (provided that she isn't filibustered). Like most federal judges, Judge Sotomayor has already hired a full complement of law clerks for the 2009-10, but since it is almost unheard of for someone to clerk directly for the Supreme Court without prior clerkship experience, it is unlikely that these individuals will be joining Judge Sotomayor at One First Street this fall. Given that President Obama has been rather dilatory with judicial nominations and his only pending nomination to the Second Circuit is District Judge Gerard Lynch (S.D.N.Y.)--who has 2009-10 clerks of his own lined up--it is not likely that all of the 2009-10 clerks Judge Sotomayor hired last fall can readily get placements with other Second Circuit judges. Given the rather unique situation, it will be interesting to see what happens to these already-hired clerks in the coming months, and who will clerk for Judge Sotomayor this fall.
Numerous media outlets are reporting that President Barack Obama will announce at 10AM that he will nominate Judge Sonia Sotomayor (2d Cir.) to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter.
The Pueblo Chieftain reports that District Judge Christine Arguello (D. Colo.), a protege of former Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush and only confirmed in October 2008, has been asked by the Obama administration if she would be interested in being considered to replace retiring Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court.
For some commentary as to Judge Arguello's chances of being nominated, see this post by Adam Brinkley of Race42012.
Senator Ben Nelson (D-Ne.) announced this morning on Fox News Sunday that he may join in a filibuster of President Barack Obama's upcoming nominee to the Supreme Court. A video of Senator Nelson's comments is available here.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, which was scheduled to vote today on President Barack Obama's nomination of Judge Andre Davis (D. Md.) to a vacancy on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, has delayed its vote due to concerns about Judge Davis's reversal rate in criminal cases. Judge Davis has been nominated to fill the vacancy created by the August 31, 2000 death of Judge Francis Murnaghan. This seat has remained vacant for almost nine years primarily due to the successful obstruction of former President George W. Bush's nominees Peter Keisler, Claude Allen and Rod Rosenstein by Democratic senators.
A new date for the committee vote has not yet been set, although it will certainly take place after Congress's Memorial Day recess.
I have added new law clerk information for Judge David Smith (3d Cir.), Judge Fortunato Benavides (5th Cir.) and Judge Kim Wardlaw (9th Cir.). Provided that this information is accurate, it would appear that Judge Smith is full for 2010-11, and the early hiring list has accordingly been updated.
New clerkship data has been added for every federal appellate court. Between this and the last appellate data dump, all data LCA has from 2008-09 to the present should now be accounted for on the new site.
Judicial conservatives have lost one of their most prominent and popular federal judges. In a stunning, unexpected announcement, Judge Michael McConnell (10th Cir.), one of the brightest, influential, and most academically accomplished federal judges (and on everyone's short list for a Supreme Court nomination) will resign from the bench effective August 31, 2009 in order to take a position on the Stanford Law School faculty. The official press release from the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit is available here.
A very interesting discussion has emerged on the Prettier Than Napoleon blog regarding passing drug tests and obtaining security clearances as prerequisites to obtaining certain clerkships, particularly on the D.C. Circuit and the 4th Circuit. Here is one particularly interesting morsel of information:
To work on the Guantanimo cases, you have to get a security clearance. It is not a super-secret security clearance that requires a polygraph. There is NO drug test although as part of the clearance process you must describe your history with illegal drugs. Some judges require all their clerks to get a clearance, others have a designated Guantanimo clerk.
For more, read the original post and its comments!
A very large amount of law clerk data (primarily for the 2008-09 term) has been added for every federal appellate court (except for Armed Forces--if anyone knows where I can get clerk data for that court please email me). I have also slightly changed the layout to the appellate court and judges pages to reduce white space and to display more information (such as 2008-09 law clerk demographics and a list of recent blog posts about the court/judge).
I expect to do a similar data dump for district judges within the next few days (perhaps as early as tomorrow).
Not surprisingly, speculation already abounds as to who President Barack Obama will select to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter. Here are some highlights from around the blogosphere:
* Orin Kerr guesses it will be Solicitor General and former Harvard Law School dean Elena Kagan, but he would prefer sitting judges Merrick Garland (D.C. Cir.) or Diane Wood (7th Cir.).
* Marc Randazza would like to see Alex Kozinski (9th Cir.), law professor (and former Kozinski clerk) Eugene Volokh, or former Jenner & Block partner Donald B. Verrilli.
* Scott Greenfield is hoping for Sonia Sotomayor (2d Cir.).
* Last but not least, several forum contributors (see, e.g., here and here) are fans of Kim McLane Wardlow (9th Cir.).
As I noted last night, this should make for a very interesting summer!
Mere hours after the AP alluded to the possibility, Supreme Court Justice David Souter has apparently confirmed his intent to retire at the end of the 2009-10 term.
Needless to say, this should make for a very interesting summer!
The Associated Press reports today that Supreme Court Justice David Souter has still not hired law clerks for the 2009-10 term. James Perkins at the Committee for Justice blog correctly notes that although Souter is usually late to hire, "this is really late, even for him."
It should go without saying that SCOTUS retirements are notoriously hard to predict, and for all we know Souter is getting a good laugh out of this. Of course, it also goes without saying that it would be great if you could email Law Clerk Addict at lawfirmaddict@gmail.com if you have any information about whether Justice Souter (or any other judge) is interviewing or hiring law clerks for any term.
In all, there are 289 3Ls clerking, comprising about 56% of all clerks. About 35% of clerks are graduates, totaling 181 clerks. "Unknown" (47) comprises the remainder.
Two qualifications of this data.
First, "early" means pre-plan. Now, it's not technically "early" to hire graduates pre-plan, but it's a way of distinguishing when judges move and how quickly.
Second, a listing as "not early" may actually mean early. If a judge hires a clerk on August 1, but it is reported on this site on October 1, then it is recorded as "not early," even though it was an early hire. Note, however, that the converse cannot be true, which means that the "early" hiring statistics are a guaranteed minimum.
Here's a visual representation of the percentage of clerks from the Top 31 law schools. (I apologize for the abbreviations; however, they should be sufficiently readable.) Blue means the clerk will graduate in 2009; red means the clerk was a graduate with prior work experience; pale yellow means the clerk's graduate status is unknown.
Someone alerted me that at least one school's "class size" used for percentages is incorrect. I checked, and sure enough, a number of schools' denominators (i.e., class size) were incorrect. I'm in the process of updating them. My method takes the ABA 2008 report of matriculation, then subtracting transfers out and adding transfers in. While it isn't the precise Class of 2009 calculation, it approximates the class size post-transfers. I hope to finish that shortly.
I've created three lists out of whole cloth. The first are the dozen most prestigious judges, by my own estimation and a variety of factors (exclusivity, productivity, feedability, etc.).
The second and third lists are a bit more unique. They focus on the most ten prestigious appointees of the last two presidents, Bush and Clinton. These are generally younger judges who show signs of the factors of the most prestigious judges (or are on that list), have been mentioned as possible McCain or Obama Supreme Court nominees, and are the most "coveted" if you seek a "younger" judge (although not all are necessarily relatively "young," but might be, e.g., one who can serve as a mentor longer, one who still has significant connections in their prior field of work, etc.).
Here's a visual representation of the percentage of clerks from the Top 30 and Top 50 schools. (I apologize for the abbreviations; however, they should be sufficiently readable.)
Curious which schools place a plurality percentage of their clerks in a single circuit? Sorted below. (Minimum 10 clerks, ties so noted.)

Last updated March 19, 2008.
The chart below indicates the clerkship salary bonus that the Vault 100 (2008) firms offer federal COA clerks. Some notes:
-The chart uses the highest number for an office if different offices give different amounts.
-The chart uses only the official number of the firm, not the number that some may negotiate or that some clerks may receive for working for a particular judge or circuit.
-The second number indicates what, if anything, a two-year clerk receives (or "cbc" if case-by-case).
-Blanks are unknown data.
-All numbers are in thousands of dollars.
(The percentage represents the % of a given class that will be clerking for the 2007-2008 term. The denominators for class size include both full-time and part-time students. The numerators are not adjusted to exclude alumni who will clerk from current students, and include both alumni and current students.)
