Judge Siler is still hiring for '22. Judge Suhrheinrich does not take clerks. Judge Batchelder is filled.

Judge Gilman already hired for 2022, and it looks like he does all of his clerk hiring in the fall.

Judge Suhrheinrich does not take clerks.

Last I checked, Judge Suhrheinrich still had one term and one career clerk.

I know someone who is clerking for him next year for a term.

Sorry. Didn’t mean to misrepresent. I got a rejection letter that made it seem like he wouldn’t be taking any on for the foreseeable future.

Sutton extending offers for 2024-2025

Does anyone know if Sutton is still interviewing for 2024-2025 and whether it's worth throwing an app his way?

He was still interviewing as of a couple of weeks ago but throwing an app his way out of the blue probably won't grab any attention. He's one of the top SCOTUS feeders, so you're going to need that level of credentials and institutional support behind you to have a shot. If you've got the institutional support, you'll know the timeline better than anyone on TLS can tell you.

Anon above. Thanks so much. In case it's useful, I heard he'll start looking at applications again in August.

Have any of the Trump judges -- Murphy, Readler, Larsen, Nalbandian, etc -- started for 2023 or 2024?

Readler's been interviewing since July.

All four have been interviewing recently, including some of the same candidates.

Yeah for off plan judges, this is a typical time to hire for 2023 because they're interviewing 1Ls from the class of 2023

Does anyone have any thoughts about Helene White? Looks like she just opened a 2021 spot thats starts next week.

Be prepared to work some strange hours. She's otherwise a good boss and a very thoughtful judge from everything I've seen. Very slow with work product. Technically a GWB appointee (via a compromise package with two conservatives), she is pretty staunch liberal judge. Her recent dissent in the bump-stock 2A case was worth reading.

I concur with this. Her chambers is very, very slow. But she seems like a nice, thoughtful person. Outside of the slowness, it wasn't difficult working with her chambers. And yes, she's a liberal judge. But she had a good relationship with my conservative boss. Seemed to be collegial.

Does anyone know if she has already started interviewing?/If she has any preferences in candidates?

I was intrigued by this discussion about Judge White looking to fill a spot so close to the start date, so I looked at the OSCAR posting, and it seems like maybe her career clerk is leaving. In that case, I think she'd be looking for someone with prior clerkship and law firm experience, and probably not someone newly out of law school or even 1-2 years out. No harm in putting your hat in the ring if you're looking for a normal term clerkship, but I'm not sure that's what she's posting.
