Site Design Input Needed
Category: Administration / Meta (2010 Cycle)

* Should career clerks be removed from the demographics listings on the court pages (but still appear on individual judge listings)?


* Should bankruptcy courts receive their own section and court pages, or should bankruptcy judges be listed on district court pages (like magistrate judges)?

Please keep the career clerks on the individual judge's page, but not on the demographic listings. Also, how come it takes so long for comments about judge hires to appear on their page? There has been information on Selya for a while and there is new information for Wesley. Finally, in previous years you've listed COA clerkships by school so you can easily see what schools are placing people with which COA judges. Could we get one of those now and just update it whenever information about a new hire comes in?

The Selya and Wesley hires slipped through the cracks. They have been added now.

Organize the early hiring/off-plan judge lists by court. Right now there doesn't seem to be any organization at all... it's quite annoying.

 Color coding

Re: #3, would it help if the judge names on court pages were color coded (green for interviewing, purple for partial hire, red for done) based on 2010-11 hiring status, or would all the different colors just be annoying?

Color coding sounds like a good idea.

 Organizing hiring list

#3 Here: No, the color coding doesn't really address my particular problem (though it is a good idea). Perhaps my suggestion wasn't clear. I would like to see the hiring list organized by court. For example, the appellate court list should start with all the 1st circuit judges followed by the other circuits in descending order. When I look on that list I'm looking for specific courts and specific judges. The current organization is not helpful for my purposes. On the other hand, I can see why people would like the current set up (i.e., chronologically based on recent status updates). Ideally, though, you would have tabs at the top of each column that allowed users to organize the list by his/her preferred criteria (e.g., I could click "COURT" and organize it by court, or click "STATUS" and organize it by status, etc.) In any event, thanks for responding to feedback and implementing suggestions. This site is a great resource. Keep up the good work!

How about putting the most recent comments at the top of each page instead of the bottom?
