For those who still aren't aware, Law Clerk Addict is tracking pre-September hires through a moderated early hiring list. As you can see, there has been a non-trivial amount of 2010-11 hiring activity over the past week or so. Some selected highlights:
* Judge Jerry Smith (5th Cir.) is completely off-plan and currently extending interview invitations to rising 3Ls.
* Judges Maryanne Barry (3d Cir.) and Milan Smith (9th Cir.), both of whom hired some alumni applicants for 2010-11 in mid to late 2008, are extending interview invitations to alumni again.
* Judge Joel Dubina (11th Cir.) is reported to be interviewing and allegedly has made at least one hire.
* On the district court front, Judge Charles Breyer (N.D. Cal.), brother to Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, is reportedly done for 2010-11.
Remember, early hiring updates are typically not announced on the front page, so be sure to visit the early hiring list directly to get the most up to date news on the 2010-11 hiring cycle.
