Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Any insights/further info on Judge Brennan? Does he only hire Fedsoc or is he less political than say Sykes?

Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Just FedSoc as far as I know. He’s not one of the more desirable FedSoc judges so he’s not very grade selective by CA7 standards from what I understand. He’s pretty political.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 4:46 pmAny insights/further info on Judge Brennan? Does he only hire Fedsoc or is he less political than say Sykes?

Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Is Sykes political in her hiring? Individually, she's probably the most conservative one on the court, but I've heard that she doesn't seem to put a lot of emphasis on ideology of clerks and just has very standards for grades, etc.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 4:46 pmAny insights/further info on Judge Brennan?

He is very kind and a genuinely good guy, but all of his clerks are very very very FedSoc, and they will grill you to make sure you are too when they interview you.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 4:46 pmAny insights/further info on Judge Brennan?

Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Sykes hires exclusively FedSoc or awfully close to it. I’ve never heard of her taking a liberal from Chicago, unlike a lot of FedSoc judges.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 6:22 pmIs Sykes political in her hiring?

Any word from Flaum recently? His posting expired but from folks I've talked to, it sounds like he never even started interviewing.

Flaum just revived the expired OSCAR posting. Not sure if that means he plans to move anytime soon.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 11:22 amAny word from Flaum recently? His posting expired but from folks I've talked to, it sounds like he never even started interviewing.

Not a chambers clerkship, but has anyone heard from the Staff Office? Their OSCAR posting says they start interviewing "around July".

Still no word on Flaum? The posting expired July 1 and he only renewed it until July 31, so I want to believe he's planning to move within the next 2 weeks.

Kirsch's OSCAR posting changed to "filled" a couple weeks back, for whatever that's worth. St. Eve interviewed at least one grad last week, not sure about this weekAnonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 12:21 pmAlso Kirsch

Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Any news from the other NDIL judges who posted to OSCAR (e.g., Pallmeyer, Seeger, Tharp, Kennelly, Wood)? I imagine most have begun extending interview offers by now.

Feinerman and Chang are done hiring. I'm assuming the others have at least interviewed but I don't know for sure.

Seeger moved very slowly last year, he was open seemingly forever
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
