I can now confirm, again, from a very reliable source, that Judge Raymond Kethledge (6th Cir.) is not only completely full for the 2010-11 term, but has also partially hired for 2011-12 (a fact not reflected on OSCAR)! The early hiring list has been updated to reflect Kethledge's status, and I have also put up law school demographic information on his four 2010-11 clerks-to-be.
It should go without saying that if you're interested in Judge Kethledge, and are in the market for a 2011-12 clerkship, you might want to send your application materials in ASAP...
