Any movement from CA10 judges?

Bacharach, Ebel, Matheson, and Rossman have all moved. Bacharach was scheduling some interviews for next week. Matheson at least has extended offers.

[Anonymous User]

not quite on point, but when is it acceptable to reach out for a status update? Going on almost a month and a half with no update after an interview.

Did any EDNY judges interview or hire yet?

Any movement from CA10 judges?

Bacharach, Matheson, and Rossman moved. Matheson already made a couple offers.

Bacharach was setting some of his interviews for early next week, and I’m sure some candidates will already have accepted other clerkships before then. So there might be more invites to come.

Anyone know if the Hawaii 9C judges (Bennett, Clifton) have moved?

Calabresi, Cabranes, and Carney have all made at least some offers

Adding onto this, my understanding is a lot of the judges in that building make offers really quickly so if you have not heard I guess it is a ding. (Although maybe sometimes they take their time).

Also broadly for everyone else, I would operate under the assumption that everyone who is hiring on plan will have or has extended interview invitations by now if not offers.

Has anyone heard about Kahn interviewing/offering?

Is this really true? Maybe for the most competitive judges and geographies, but I thought the reason those judges move so fast is because they're trying to scoop up the most competitive applicants, and everyone else will hire on slightly more relaxed of a schedule? Or did you just mean on CA2, because then, yeah you're probably right lol.

I would not operate under this assumption. Speaking from personal experience, in summer 2020 I had two interview offers come in on the Friday of week 2 of the plan—one federal district and one state supreme court. I don't think that is unusual. Granted, I would not get your hopes up either. Just that the judges who are not fighting to get the top 2–3% at HYS often work on a different timeline.

Ehhhhh, I mean, yeah, maybe SSC is moving a bit slower, but I would say that ~85% of the COA clerkships that hire on plan as well as like ~85% of SDNY, EDNY, DDC, EDVA, NDIL, D. Mass, the CA districts, and the TX districts will have sent their first rounds within the first week the plan opens.

There are way more federal districts than the ones you just listed, though, which I think goes back to the point about judges who are “not fighting to get the top 2-3% at HYS.”

So I agree that there are going to be judges who are moving slower. Unfortunately neither I nor anyone else can say exactly who, how many, or where. So while I don’t think people need to absolutely give up at this point, it is a crappy holding pattern to be in and obviously chances keep going down over time.
