It took over a month for Minnesota last year. Did you do Minn. Ct. App., supreme court, or both?kalvano wrote:Anyone heard back from Minnesota or Vermont yet? Minnesota was due August 1, and Vermont closes in the next day or two.

The two people from my school that were dinged from Minn. were at the Court of Appeals and they got a snail mail ding. Only people I know at SC of MN got offers... I got the impression that the gears of the MN appellate bureaucracy moved rather slowly though.kalvano wrote:Gorki wrote:It took over a month for Minnesota last year. Did you do Minn. Ct.

I did both. Do you know if they send a ding letter, or is it just silence? Assuming the timeline holds true, they should start sending things out in the next couple of weeks.

CoA hires from across the board. I think it might be the make-up of that court is a bit more diverse as to alma mater. SC of MN used to be entirely U of Minn. + 1 William Mitchell grad who hired heavily from Univ. of Minn., a few from the other Minnesota schools... Last year they had two T6 clerks. A few days ago a SC justice retired, and the pick to replace her has a Yale UG / Harvard JD, and I am not sure if this sudden shake-up will alter their clerk picking process... Sorry if that was too much of a digression.kalvano wrote:Most states seem to move pretty slow. It's cool, though. As long as I haven't been officially dinged, there is still hope, right? RIGHT?

I know at least one coa judge has started looking at apps.kalvano wrote:I don't even think they've started looking at apps there.Anonymous User wrote:Still waiting to hear from Texas SC and 1st/14th COA.
Our (BU) CDO's website has a section where clerkship interviewees post surveys about their interviews, and after going through those, it looks like MA doesn't begin making interview calls until the first week or two of September.Anonymous User wrote:Waiting to hear back from a TON of states - only RI SC has let me know they have made offers. A good portion (HI, NM, CO) have said they are holding onto my application as they don't make decisions until later. For the majority, there has been complete silence (VT, MA, CT, NH, NV, MN).

First, we're not talking about summer internships; we're talking about actual clerkships. Second, working for a judge over the summer is a much better career move than 95% of other 1L summer jobs, including paid positions. Please get a fucking clue before you post.waitlistedddd wrote:I recommend you spend your summer making money, not clerking for free. Many companies will hire you at a paralegal's wage/salary.
Looks like CT SC interviews the first week of September, NH SC the second week of September, RI SC and WI SC the first week of August. Those are the only state courts listed.kalvano wrote:nevdash wrote:Our (BU) CDO's website has a section where clerkship interviewees post surveys about their interviews, and after going through those, it looks like MA doesn't begin making interview calls until the first week or two of September.Anonymous User wrote:Waiting to hear back from a TON of states - only RI SC has let me know they have made offers.

This isn't the thread for questions like this.
