Any news? I know typically fellows have been notified in early November so I assume rejection letters are sent sometime in October.

What are typical stats to get this? Top 5% at HYS or #1 at T14 is my guess.

don't forget a feeder judge

Would also be interested in knowing when notifications are usually sent out.

Looking at threads from the last couple years, it looks like calls started going out around now. Anyone hear of any news?

No one's heard anything?

Imagine it'll be next week. 2012 seemed like an outlier, hearing in the first week of November.

I'm actually in a weird situation. SCOTUS interview coming up pretty soon, but after the Bristows are likely to be announced. What do I do if I'm lucky enough to get the Bristow offer? Ask the Justice whether I can interview for the following term? It'd seem crazy to give up the Bristow for only a chance of a SCOTUS spot.

Pretty sure this is a flame. If actually in this situation, you would likely have professors, current judge, etc. who would be far more likely to give actual advice than TLS. But...I would assume that this is not an infrequent occurrence. If you get the Bristow, I'm sure you can tell the SG's office that you have an upcoming interview for a SCOTUS gig, and they have some process for letting you defer one or the other.

Not a flame. But whatevs.

FWIW, Bristows can't be former SCOTUS clerks.

Why are people predicting next week?

Last year people had heard by the Thursday of the second full week of November. The two years before that it was the first week of Nov. Of course there's no telling if that trend will continue--it had previously been later in December--but it seems like there's a pretty good chance we'll hear this week.

Any news?

Today's a federal holiday. If there are any more calls going out I'd imagine they'd be tomorrow.

So any guesses as to whether they've made all the calls by now? I assume dings will come by mail in due course...

No news? It seems like in previous years all calls went out by this time.

I accepted a position this week. I'm guessing they are all filled, but really have no idea.

Congratulations!!
