What dates do fed. cir. judges usually hire? It looked like in last year's comments ppl were saying they finished really early, but then I thought I saw something saying they didn't even look at apps until late august or september. Also, are all positions listed on one site? OSCAR? Or are there multiple sites that I have to go to?
Judge Moore has a new opening on OSCAR for 2009-2010.
For those of us still in law school we can be getting our materials together now and be "finished" but not have actually submitted anything on OSCAR. The earliest 3Ls can submit this year is Sept 3 via OSCAR. I think practicing attorneys can submit anytime there is a posting on OSCAR.
Only 7 of the 18 Federal Circuit judges are listed as hiring on OSCAR. For the other 11, how do we know if they are truly not hiring or if they just aren't using OSCAR at all?
If you call the chambers, you can find out if they are accepting applications or not. It's still pretty early. They may not be accepting until later this summer.
Those using OSCAR may have noticed Judge Moore's position has been filled. No idea if more will open up later, or if 1 or 2 are reserved for law students (since obviously this one was filled by a graduate).
Dyk hired a UVA '07 grad.
Any idea from which schools fed. cir. judges hire? How low on the rankings totem pole do you go before you stop wasting your time?
Well, there will be two Iowa grads clerking there starting in August, so at least the top 25-30 schools have a chance. Maybe they dip lower occasionally.
At least one of those Iowa clerks is a total freaking rock star, that's all I know. And no it's not me.
Does anyone know which Fed. Cir. judges are accepting apps now from grads?
How do you pronounce Judge Gajarsa's name? I've heard a few variations....

"Does anyone know which Fed. Cir. judges are accepting apps now from grads?"
You need to make an oscar.symplicity.com account and search for FCCA judges.
Several are, several aren't yet.
The deputy clerk has standing orders not to transfer clerkship questions to chambers and instead refers you to the website, which refers you to the hiring plan. Theoretically all judges will use oscar, even if to specify that they'll only be accepting paper applications.
the comment about judge dyk is incorrect. the '07 UVA grad is clerking 2008-09. he has not hired anyone for 2009 yet.
Anyone know if Gajarsa filled his 2010 spot?
I heard Moore is making deal(s) with some students - clerk on the Ct of Federal Claims for a year and then you can clerk for me in 2010-11.
Anyone heard that?

No, but I did hear that her husband, a partner at Howrey, can usually get a Howrey associate to the top of the resume pile... I, of course, am not implying or suggesting anything about the merits of this person, other than a good letter of req. from her husband will likely get you an interview... I don't know if that's even remotely true, or how useful it is to anyone, unless you are deciding between an offer from Howrey and an offer elsewhere, and really want to clerk in a year or two.

Clevenger hired an alum recently.
Linn filed a position.
Was the Linn position for 2009? Or for a later term?
