I noticied that Oscar listed that with a start date of next month. At first I thought it was an error, but they updated it - one of his prior clerks must have bailed. It's also hard to get people down in the valley. He's a super young looking guy, make sure you don't mistake him for the clerk if you visit chambers.

I'm sure Judge Crane has contacted everyone he is going to interview and has probably already selected the new clerk. The position starts next week.

one of the two 2007-2008 term clerks was a 2007 grad from Ave Maria School of Law, hired as a student. the other was a 2007 U of Virginia grad, also hired as a student. one of the two 2008-2009 term clerks was a Texas 2008 grad, hired as a student. the other was the same Ave grad, electing to stay a 2d term. This Ave grad elected again to stay for the 2009-2010 term, making a 3d term. the second 2009-2010 term clerk was a Texas Dec. 2008 grad. For 2010-2011, the Ave grad elected to stay a 4th term. interviews are still in process to fill the second term position.
