Stranch appears to be full, just posted this on Oscar: " I currently have NO positions open for the 2021-2022 term with a start date of mid-August."

Moore is full through 22.

As for Donald, no one knows. Hoping she has 22 slots.

Nope...they haven't moved as far as I know.

Anyone know anything else on CoA judges?

To my knowledge, Siler has not begun offering interviews yet. It's not clear yet when he will interview. COVID is disrupting things.

Could I ask which ones? My clerkship office made it seem like no SDOH judges were hiring this term (and so few are on OSCAR), and discouraged me from sending paper applications anyway.

Different anon but Gwin in NDOH has moved with interviews/offers at HYS. Not sure where he is in the process.

I think your clerkship office is correct for the most part. I've received quite a few rejections from most of the district judges, with Rice being the most recent. But I received interviews with Sargus and Newman (who is a magistrate but just got the nom, although who knows what will happen there). IIRC, Morrison already filled a slot a while ago.

Oh, I almost forgot. Dlott also told me very quickly that she was not hiring. Admittedly, my school is . . . less than ideal, so you might have an extremely different response if you go to a better school with similar stats.

Bummer, applied to Sargus and thought I had a chance since I'm from Ohio. Any idea on WDKY judges, like Hale or Jennings?

Not sure, unfortunately. I withdrew my applications from them and haven't heard anything about WDKY. I know Bunning and Magistrate Smith in EDKY held interviews.

This court has had a lot of new appointees in recent years. Can anybody provide a good summary of who is the best/most enjoyable to work for - not just for the new appointees, but for all of the active/senior judges? Also, are there any judges who have particularly good employment outcomes for their clerks?

You can pretty much group Sutton, Kethledge, and Thapar together for "best employment outcomes." Of the three, I think Kethledge is probably the most enjoyable to work for, but I haven't heard bad things about any of the three.

As for the rest/who's the best to work for, I would say that Stranch, Larsen, Griffin, and Readler would be higher on my list while Clay, Donald, White and Murphy would be towards the bottom.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
