Anyone heard from magistrate judges? I have about 30 apps to them and was hoping to at least snag an interview there...

If judges do not call today, does that mean its [generally] over?

Is this true?: When Oscar shows a slot as "Expired," it means that the time for submitting applications has passed, but the judge has not necessarily filled the position.

What if someone has 5 interviews with different judges - picks one - does that mean the other 4 judges will have open slots at that time?

One was probably the following day, one was probably three days later, and one was probably a week or a week and a half later.

Haha sadly no, but I had to withdraw from consideration from one for a few reasons.

Anyone willing to divulge which judges are hiring, but don't want to do it (even anonymously) feel free to PM me and I can post any specific names. (I'll do a time lag so it can't be connected to anyone by virtue of proximity to a call.)
