If there a particular judge you want to submit an application to, but they are not on OSCAR, and you have no connection to the judge or their clerks, what is the best way to get in touch with chambers to ask when the next term is that they are accepting applications for?

Thanks!

Call them up and ask.

Right, except googling the phone number for chambers wasn't exactly helpful...

Sorry, I forgot COAs don't make that public (because district courts do and your OP didn't specify what kind of court.) There's a thing called the Judicial Yellow Book which includes contact info, your clerkship office or law library should be able to find you access to a copy?

You could also try calling up the courthouse where they sit and asking for contact info. Not sure if they'd give it out though.

Thank you!! Sorry - I should have specified COA. Much appreciated!

Also, Westlaw has the Alamanc of the Federal Judiciary (click "Directories" on the home page). It might have a number there too.
