COA 2016 application question
Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2014 8:02 pm
I'm a current district court clerk clerking for two years, ending summer 2016. My plan was to work for a few months and get a recommendation from my judge, applying in December/January.
I'm looking at OSCAR now and a number of positions are opening up, but they seem to be mostly 2/7/9/DC and the most competitive judges outside those circuits (which, frankly, I don't really have a chance with). My question is: are those judges just more likely to make an OSCAR post and a greater number of judges are already moving (and I should get moving on apps) or is it really only the more competitive COA's moving this early?
