Re: Moritz - Oscar says not hiring.
This is because her 23-24 posting expired. I know of someone who had a first-round interview with her a few weeks back for that term, so she has at least started interviewing.

Any update from your friend that interviewed with Moritz? I also had a screener a few weeks ago and a writing prompt but haven’t heard anything since.

They haven't heard anything either - told me they've assumed they didn't move on to the next round and are just moving on. Fingers crossed for you though!

Anyone notice that Bacharach is looking for another clerk for this fall? Pretty surprising

He probably had a clerk selected as part of KBJ’s class?

The names of those four clerks have already been released and it would not really have made sense for any of them to be clerking for him this term.

Any info on who Rossman has hired as her clerks or what her reputation is on CA10 so far? Looks like she wrote a great, immigrant-friendly decision a while back, so I would assume she's one of the more liberal (if not the most liberal?) judges on the 10th. Her OSCAR posting suggests that she does care about ties to the 10th - does she also prefer public interest applicants?

Hard to know because she’s only had one set of clerks so far, but her current clerks do seem to be relatively public interest oriented and Rossman was a career federal defender before getting nominated. As to how liberal she is, also hard to know so early on but she seems to be on par with Lucero (who imo has been the most liberal in recent years).

Not the OP but also interested in Rossman - are all her current clerks HYS grads, or does she hire more broadly? I understand that the first set of clerks is a small sample size & not representative, but still curious.

Lower T14 student here with a not-spectacular GPA (top third, I think). My resume is fairly public-interesty and I got an interview request from her, so she's definitely taking a more holistic approach.

Rossman herself graduated from Hastings, so it makes sense that she would be open to candidates from more schools. For the anon who had an interview, did you have Colorado/10th Circuit ties?

I'm that anon and no I did not, but I had a pretty strong and well-established interest in lower court appellate lit. Everyone mentions that she prefers Denver ties but I'll also point out that she states in her posting that she prefers a strong interest in appellate lit and public service. I hope that helps!

That's very helpful - thanks! I have a similar background and plan to apply for 2024 whenever she starts taking apps, so that's encouraging to hear.

Jeez. Has any context ever come out about the chair throw? Obviously a cruel thing to do, but also just so odd.

If you're still interested: she definitely hires more broadly. Has had people from mid/lower-T14 as well as T50 (maybe T100).
