The areas you are looking at are likely too competitive for you to have a fair shot based on credentials alone. You probably need something a little extra to be considered -- a call from a professor, a prior contact with the judge, connection between the judge and the firm, something on your resume evidencing a skill the judge is looking for, etc.

Close to zero without something extra, like Lincoln described.
