This is probably a natural lull time for a lot of judges... those who really wanted to jump start the process and interview/hire early have had a long time to do so, while those who prefer to wait and see only have a couple of more months to go. Throw in the fact that a lot of them are probably preparing for June/July oral arguments session and it's not hard to imagine why there hasn't been much activity this week on the 9th (or with any other court for that matter).

 – Anonymous (Unregistered)

I agree with #45 that this is just a bad time for a lot of judges. A friend of mine clerking for a circuit judge (not on the 9th) who traditionally hires early said that s/he has not looked at any applications in weeks because of oral arguments coming up soon.

Hi all, Does anyone know if there's a pattern to when SDNY (or EDNY -- or really any other District) judges read grad applications? I know a few hire very early. Do a significant number look at graduate applications during July-August? Or do they just sit on the applications until the 3L applications come in September?

 – Anonymous (Unregistered)

Most judges on SDNY hire way in advance, for instance several judges essentially hire 2 years in advance now (go look at all the 2011-12 postings for SDNY on OSCAR). Even those who hire more traditionally tend to be filled with alumni hires before 3Ls can even apply. To summarize, not many 3Ls get SDNY offers, even in more favorable economies.

 – Anonymous (Unregistered)

My CS office suggests sending out applications (as a grad) now and re-sending in September to chambers that didn't call or send a no-thanks. A point to this?

If you're a student and all you did is finalize your OSCAR application, Pryor won't see it until the fed plan kicks in on Sept. 8. I don't think Pryor has ever waited that long to hire. [From OSCAR] "Please know that once your application is finalized, you will not be able to make any changes to your documents or recommender. Applications from 2009 and earlier graduates will be immediately viewable, whereas applications from 2010 graduates will not become viewable until Tuesday, September 8, 2009 "

How prestigious is a clerkship on this court compared to a district court clerkship? What are the exit opportunities?

 – Anonymous (Unregistered)

As usual, that all depends. It's not an A3 court, and I think that does have some effect on its prestige, although the practical difference can be limited. I'd say that if you're interested in government contracts and tax, the CFC clerkship will carry weight in those relevant legal communities. Otherwise, a district court would probably be a better bet, both experientially and in terms of prestige.

It's pretty undisputed that Scirica is the most prestigious of all the active judges. Beyond that it's a lot less clear, but I'd put Rendell and Jordan in that next tier.

 – Anonymous (Unregistered)

Judge Sloviter is actually quite prestigious. Despite her terrible reputation as an employer, she has a great reputation as a judge.

 – Anonymous (Unregistered)

Barry is something of a darkhorse when it comes to prestige. She's had two recent clerks go on to clerk for SCOTUS, which puts her in a tie for 22nd on the list of feeder judges (http://www.lawclerkaddict.com/data/feeders).

 – Anonymous (Unregistered)

Beyond Scirica it's very tough to rank based on prestige and you can make very strong arguments for Sloviter (great judge but reputedly horrible to work for), Barry (minor feeder), Rendell (reasons should be obvious), McKee (will be chief judge but not really remarkable beyond that) and Jordan (new but strong potential to feed in the future). If you don't get Scirica I'd feel about equally comfortable with any of the above.
