Hamilton done for 2022, per a polite form email (and it's definitely a form email because it called even me impressive)

Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Looks like Durkin, Kennelly, Pacold, Pallmeyer, Seeger, and Wood are left for this cycle. Any tea on whether they've interviewed yet? Or whether any others are going to post late like a couple judges did last year?

Durkin will likely take his time. I don't think he's started interviewing yet. Same with Seeger.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 4:02 pmLooks like Durkin, Kennelly, Pacold, Pallmeyer, Seeger, and Wood are left for this cycle. Any tea on whether they've interviewed yet?

Pacold's also a slow mover, and I think she mainly hires COA clerks now so she's often not bound by the plan

Did anyone just receive an email from Judge Pallmeyer without any content in it besides their name and email?

Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Yes, I'm assuming that was a rejection email with a mail merge glitch. The position is already listed as "filled" on OSCAR, and I'd imagine that if it were an interview request, the subject line would say so.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 4:41 pmDid anyone just receive an email from Judge Pallmeyer without any content in it besides their name and email?

Nothing on Seeger, but he moves pretty late, so I wouldn't expect to hear anything for a while. Has anyone heard of movement from Flaum?

Seeger takes forever. However long you expect him to take, it will take longer. Great reputation though and he could be super selective if he wanted to be.

Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Does anyone know how the NDIL judges compare ideologically? With Illinois' whole deal where the president's party and senators' party each gets a few picks, it seems like appointing president is not always a good reflection of ideology. Which of the NDIL judges would you all say are more solidly liberal versus centrist (or just not ideological) versus conservative/Fed Soc-y?

Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Ideology isn't much of a thing for district judges, but Kness and Pacold are Fed Soc-y, and Tharp and Seeger are kind-of-sort-of-maybe.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 7:07 pmDoes anyone know how the NDIL judges compare ideologically?

Re: Let's Talk 7th Circuit!
Former NDIL clerk here, I'd say Rowland, Lee, Coleman, Wood, Alonso, Chang, and Ellis are the liberals. The vast majority (e.g. Feinerman, Pallmeyer, Tharp, Durkin, Dow, Shah, Seeger) are moderate/non-ideological. Only Blakey, Pacold, and Kness (and Kendall to some extent) strike me as FedSoc-type conservative.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
