Hired at least one.
Full for 2020 and heard that he has already started hiring for 2021.
:shock: ALREADY HIRING FOR 2021?!?! DAMN!
Can anyone else weigh in? Is he accepting applications for 2021 or is he hiring through the back channels?

From what I've picked up from a couple acquaintances who are or will be clerking for him:

His biggest thing is writing skills. Make sure to send a writing sample that no one else has edited, make it PERFECT, and be ready to discuss both the sample and your approach to writing generally if you get an interview. He's also very grade-conscious, and prefers law review.

Ties to the South are a bump. Doesn't have to be Alabama-specific, although that surely wouldn't hurt.
I can confirm this. I interviewed Carnes a few years ago.

Your writing sample will be front and center during your interview with him. He will have read the sample in its entirety and will likely go through some sort of exercise with you to gauge your writing skills. I'd estimate that we spent about 15-20 minutes discussing my writing sample. He is definitely grade-conscious. I remember him asking about the classes in which I got my lowest grades. I also got the sense that he had spoken with a number of my recommenders and, I think, even professors who didn't write letters of recommendation. Overall, it was an intense interview because of how prepared he was. So you should make sure that you're extremely prepared for the interview.

Ties to the South are probably a small bump. I was asked about it, and had to admit that I had none. But I think a number of his clerks who I spoke with also had little or no ties, and if having no ties were disqualifying, I doubt he would have interviewed me because my resume suggested that I had no ties.

Heard from extern/clerk for him that he is wonderful, seems to prefer some ideological diversity in his clerks, and likes to provide opportunities for S. Floridians.
Do you know if he has any preferences for certain schools, experience prior to starting, GPA? Also, is he currently looking for 2020 or 2021?
From the same poster as above. Unclear, though I did hear from one of the former clerks that he prefers clerks with some litigation experience.

I asked my school's clerkship office and they've verified that as far as they know, she has two slots open. OSCAR is showing three slots open, so she may have filled one of those recently.

Not sure if this is the right place for this year, but has anyone heard anything from the 11th Circuit Judges for the 2021-22/2022-23 terms?

Jill Pryor has a spot or two open for 2021, but is explicit about following the hiring plan for 2021 grads.
Martin hasn't hired for 2021 yet, but I don't think she usual hires without a year of work experience.
(Senior) Hull hires very late.
(Senior) Anderson is soliciting 2021 apps now.

Is he looking for 1L's (class of 2022) or is he just soliciting previous grads? If 1L, do they submit by paper since Oscar doesnt let you set up an account yet??

Both. And yes, paper (or email) for those without OSCAR access.

I've heard Hull is still hiring for 2020 and won't be looking for 2021 until the spring/summer of 2021.

On another note, does anyone have thoughts on Gayles (S.D. Fla.)?

From what I've heard, Hull isn't exactly "hiring" for 2020. She's keeping on her current clerk who couldn't find a job. Also, someone at my school has already interviewed for Hull for 2021 in contravention of her "don't apply till August" rule. I think this person had several professor call in, though.

Friend who has or will be clerking for her says that Judge Branch is FedSoc focused and prefers conservative views. But otherwise, quite experienced and apparently a great person in person.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
