Anyone know of any movement (interviews or offers) from WLRK?

Anyone heard from any of the top firms in the following markets?
-Philly
-Atlanta
-Chicago

I think Chicago's bad this year - Jenner and Sidley are both disclaiming any hiring from market, at least without prior connection.

W&C D.C. Interview late February.

Same, also three smaller appellate DC shops for interviews. Applied around 1/10 for all. Also, WLRK ding in late December, maybe 2 weeks after applying. So far, just one NYC V5 offer.

I spoke to former coclerk colleagues at ML/Dechert/DLA in Philly and all of them indicated their respective firm was not currently looking to hire law clerks. I am not entirely sure if that meant "maybe a bit later" or "no hiring." And I echo the second posters comments on Sidley in both Chicago and NY. Apparently they had a large summer class for litigation and are not considering new people. FWIW, I tend to trust these people's take because most of them operated out of their own financial interests, hoping to get a referral bonus if I got a gig.

I interviewed there earlier this cycle and it took just under a month after applying to get an interview invite.

Have you heard back re the interview? If so, how long did it take?

Received "while we were impressed with your app, we don't have any openings" from Wilkinson Walsh D.C. I'm a couple years more senior than the traditional appellate clerk, but has anyone else heard this? Assuming it's just a polite auto-ding.

any LA movement?

Emails from Dovel & Luner and Horvitz and Levy saying they aren't hiring clerks this cycle. Email from Latham saying they'll start reviewing applications later in spring. Movement from GDC.

Does anybody have any word on JD LA?

Email from JD LA of no current openings

Also curious if any recent WLRK dings by email versus dings after in-office interview.

[Anonymous User]

Has anyone had a firm reach out for references before even extending a screener interview? I know some firms specifically ask for references with the initial application, but for firms that just asked for a resume/transcript.
