Where have you heard these things? And what things are you referring to? What it's like to clerk for them? Something else?Anonymous User wrote:I have consistently heard bad things about Real and Anderson in C.D.Cal.
Experience clerking for him ≠ experience litigating in front of him.Anonymous User wrote:I don't know about Anderson, but Google "Judge Manuel Real" and see what you find.
I don't think any of the articles have anything to say about what it's like to clerk for him, but the other information is definitely worth knowing about before you apply.
Obviously. In fact, his clerks seem to be some of his staunchest defenders.Anonymous User wrote:Experience clerking for him ≠ experience litigating in front of him.

Kozinski is rumored to openly pit clerks against each other in an effort to get more out of them, but my guess is if you have a shot at Kozinski, you don't really care about that kind of work environment and view the opportunity as worth the demands.
Reinhardt and O'Scannlain are the other big feeders on the 9th Circuit. No real idea of how chill they are.Anonymous User wrote: Mind telling me which in the 9th Circuit (feeder judge who is more chill??)

Reinhardt is not "chill"--the clerkship is less intense than a Kozinski clerkship, certainly, but it's still a 6-day-a-week affair (clerks get Sundays off) with long hours.imchuckbass58 wrote:Reinhardt and O'Scannlain are the other big feeders on the 9th Circuit.

Betty Fletcher was a big feeder and also really nice supposedly, but she unfortunately passed.
You might be confusing the Fletchers. Betty sent a few to the Supreme Court over the years, but her son William has sent many more, and is definitely still an active "feeder."imchuckbass58 wrote:Reinhardt and O'Scannlain are the other big feeders on the 9th Circuit.

I don't think Ikuta has sent more then 1-2 to the Court. I think only 1. O'Scannlain is definitely one of the most conservative judges on the 9th and screens for ideology.Anonymous User wrote:Watford seems good, and most agree he will be a feeder;Anonymous User wrote:Mind telling me which in the 9th Circuit (feeder judge who is more chill??)Anonymous User wrote:Kozinski work hours: Weekdays 9:30 am - 1:30 am, with a 2 hour break for dinner, business formal attire; Weekends 10-12 am - 1:30 am.

Willy Fletcher;
Ikuta has sent a few in recent years. She's a lot like Watford in terms of her resume and location, but not the same buzz about her as Watford;
Reinhart is the famouse super-liberal feeder;
O'Scainlain is the most right wing judge on the 9th (In my opinion), but he sends a good number to Scalia and Thomas.

Ikuta is trying to position herself as a feeder but isn't nearly there yet.Anonymous User wrote:Berzon is also a liberal feeder, but she is far from chill.
Also, sorry I thought Ikuta had more. I was clerking for the 9th when she sent her one, and for some reason I thought it was a regular thing. She's nice and very smart. Slightly on the conservative side, in case that matters.
Now there's a charge.
