Law Clerk Addict

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.
