I don't think it's that surprising, actually. Last year there were 12 slots; this year there are 2. Those people might not be on here (or might not report).Anonymous User wrote:It's scary that not a single CRT (offeree) person was following this thread. A lot less turn out this year than last. This thread likely isn't very accurate then with offers, reference checks, etc.

OCIJ contacted another one of my references today as well. I am hoping this is a sign of an impending offer!

Anyone else just staring at their phone today? I'd really like to get an offer soon so I can tell my relatives on Thanksgiving that yes, I'm still single, but at least I have a job.

Does anyone know if you have already been hired through the honors program for a 2 year position and reapplied this year for another department within the same agency if they would still check references before issuing an offer?

I wonder if Commercial Litigation Branch will notify us soon. I saw that a couple have already been contacted! I’m so nervous.

Comm Lit finalist here. Just curious about what anybody knows about CLB's reputation. Do attorneys leaving CLB have good exit opportunities down the road? Good reputation within DOJ? I think typically FedP and Appellate are the most "prestigious" but I don't know how it works after those two offices.

Congrats! Were you contacted by phone or did your status checker change? I’m just curious to know if I’m out of the running. I know some of my references were checked, but havent heard anything since. I heard their reputation is very strong and good exits options especially for partnership track due to the litigation experience!

Aside from the one person who said they got an offer, has anyone else been designated a finalist for CRM Trial?
