Gorsuch has hired a Vandy '08 grad for the 09-10 term.

Anonymous said...

Gorsuch has also hired a Duke '08 grad for 09-10 term.

Has Judge Kelly interviewed or hired for 2009-2010?

Anonymous said...

Kelly usually doesn't start interviewing until late July. That way he will have second semester gardes for 2Ls and graduating 3Ls.

Anonymous said...

McConnell hired at least one for 09-10.

Anonymous said...

Any idea when McConnell made this 09-10 hire? Recently or last fall?

Anonymous said...

I can confirm the Duke '08 grad for 09-10 Gorsuch. She is with Justice Eid (in CO) in 08-09.

Any word on Baldock?

Is O'brien hiring this year?

Anonymous said...

I called his chambers and he is accepting applications from graduates

Anonymous said...

Has the 2008 Baldock spot been filled? Anyone heard about interviews?

Anonymous said...

I received an e-mail from a clerk of Judge Ebel and had a long half hour screening "interview" with him. (Very nice guy btw.) He was not certain when Judge Ebel would be making hiring decisions and I assume if the phone interview went well I would still have an in person to go to before I knew anything. I am a recent grad btw.

Anonymous said...

I am a graduate currently doing a district court clerkship.

I received an e-mail from Judge Ebel today stating that he would contact me soon. There was no mention of a screening interview.

Anonymous said...

Hartz has interviewed at least one non-graduate for 09-10.

Anonymous said...

Baldock is still interviewing for 2009-2011. I don't know whether he is still accepting applications.

Anonymous said...

Do you know if Baldock is still interviewing for the 2008 position?

Anonymous said...

Judge Murphy has now completed his hiring for the 09-10 term. He hired an 07 grad from St. Louis and an 08 grad from Utah.

Anonymous said...

I heard Ebel is moving on grads; anyone know when he is interviewing/planning to make offers?

Anonymous said...

By moving, do you mean calling or interviewing grads?

Anonymous said...

heard Ebel has interviewed some grads in person following half-hour phone screening interviews, but no word on offers yet

Anonymous said...

Anyone hear from Ebel today?

Anonymous said...

I heard Ebel is looking at applications and interviewing both grads and rising 3Ls with two years of grades in hand.

Holmes is interviewing

Anonymous said...

Does Henry follow the plan? I've heard conflicting information.

Anonymous said...

Gorsuch has hired two for the current term and one for the 10-11 term.

kelly is interviewing

The rumor here in Denver is that Gorsuch is done. Can anyone confirm?

Anonymous said...

Pretty sure that's not true - he's still calling for interviews.

8:24,

What do we know about the 10-11 Gorsuch clerk?

Anonymous said...

Gorsuch's 10-11 is clerking for a district judge in 09-10 according to someone in his chambers. I don't know his/her school or year.

Gorsuch seems to have no problem with the hiring ahead approach. The Duke 09-10 clerk was hired a year ahead and the 10-11 clerk was hired a year ahead.

His chambers did not indicate they were done hiring. Last I heard, there were two vacancies.

Anonymous said...

I received a nice letter about two weeks ago from Gorsuch stating that my application would be considered when he reviews graduate applications.

Does anyone know if he sends this to all applicants?

Anonymous said...

I got the same letter from Gorsuch.

My understanding is that the 10th Cir. generally hires off plan.

Anonymous said...

Your understanding is generally correct, though not entirely. If I remember correctly from last year McConnell and a few others waiting until the plan deadline to make their final hires.

Kelly hired

Anonymous said...

Do you know where Kelly hired from or if he is still considering graduate applications?

Anonymous said...

Has anyone heard anything from Baldock about the 2008 spot? Is it filled? Has he interviewed already?

Anonymous said...

I applied to Gorsuch today and received an email via OSCAR saying that he would contact me should an interview be appropriate. Does anyone know whether this is an automated response?

Anonymous said...

I applied to Gorsuch as well, but via mail. I received a similar message. It seemed to be a "I got your application" response with a "and I'll contact you later if I want an interview" tagged on.

I presume it is the standard response to receiving an application.

Anonymous said...

I applied by mail and got the same letter from Gorsuch. I received similar e-mails from Kelly and Ebel as well. I assume they are just generic application receipt notices.

Anonymous said...

There seems to be kind of a lull right now. Does anyone know if the judges are still revewing grad applications or are they waiting to see 3L applications at this point?

Anonymous said...

I know Holmes had an interview with a 3L. But I haven't heard of any other interviews recently. Anyone else?

Anonymous said...

Gorsuch has hired a (reputedly very sharp -- and handsome) clerk from Harvard.

Anonymous said...

I heard Gorsuch's harvard guy is a baller

Anonymous said...

Apparently Judge Ebel hired a 3L from WUSTL.

Anonymous said...

Do you know if Ebel has contacted all the grads he plans to interview or is he still reviewing applications?

Anonymous said...

Lucero apparently called alums today

Anonymous said...

Gorsuch actually hired two from hls. He should be done.

Anonymous said...

Gorsuch changed his OSCAR status today (you have to search for "Post/Last Modified Date for Closed Positions"

"Not Hiring 2009 - 2010 I have filled my clerkship positions for the 09-10 Term."

Anonymous said...

I like how Gorsuch sends an autoemail saying he'll make hiring decisions in September, then fills his position two days later. Nice.

Anonymous said...

Does anyone know if Kelly is still reviewing grad applications? Has O'Brien begun reviewing yet?

Anonymous said...

I heard that Gorsuch has an exceptional legal mind -- really first rate!

Kelly hired a 3L from William and Mary

Anonymous said...

So, does that mean Kelly has hired 2 of 3 clerks? Thanks.

Anonymous said...

Tymkovich has hired a Michigan 3L.

Anonymous said...

Not sure about Kelly's status other than the W&M hire.

Anonymous said...

So, does the Kelly hire referenced in the July 10 posting refer to the same W&M 3L referenced in the July 22 post?

Anonymous said...

I only posted the one yesterday. I assume the person on the 10th was talking about the same hire.

Anonymous said...

Judge Kelly hired a 3L from Fordham today (me!). He is leaving town tomorrow, so expect to hear from him soon.

Anonymous said...

Any idea if Kelly is still calling grads to set up interviews? Did he hire you on the spot?

Anonymous said...

No offer on the spot. I don't think he ever does that...but I could be wrong. He emailed me this morning to ask me to call him.

As for interviewing, his clerks said that they had already interviewed ~5 people (not just grads) when I was there two weeks ago. When I interviewed, he said he would be making a decision in 2-3 weeks.

Anonymous said...

Darn. I'm probably out then. Congratulations. I've heard very good things about Kelly.

Kelly hired an Notre Dame 3L today

Anonymous said...

Hartz is still interviewing, I have heard rumors that Murphy is done.

Anonymous said...

Per my schools internal website, Murphy is definitely done.

Anonymous said...

Any word on Tacha or Briscoe?

Anonymous said...

2:13-- Briscoe usually doesn't hire until after (well after!) the timetable date for 2Ls. If past practice is indicative of what she'll do this year, she will probably wait until October or November to interview or hire.

Anonymous said...

Has anyone heard anything recent from Judge Holmes' chambers? Any interviews? Any offers?

Anonymous said...

Got an email from Kelly that he's done hiring.

Anybody know anything about O'Brien?

Anonymous said...

Anyone know anything about Judge Henry? Does he follow the plan? Has he contacted anyone yet?

Anonymous said...

Judge Henry has hired at least one person. A 3L from Duke.

Anonymous said...

A friend of mine from Michigan Law had an interview with Judge Henry but had to turn it down because he accepted a clerkship with a different judge.
