Re: 2021-2022 Clerkship Application Thread
This has been a huge week of confirmations for people still applying. There have been eight district court judges confirmed this week, five of whom will be stationed in major cities (plus one in CDCA but in Riverside) and all of whom were confirmed by overwhelming margins. Plus David Dugan and Stephen McGlynn of S.D. Ill. and Todd Robinson of SDCA should be confirmed tomorrow. Cloture has also been scheduled for Iain Johnston of NDIL (though he will probably be posted in Rockford, not Chicago). Also Jamie Grosshans was appointed to the Florida Supreme Court this week.
You should look through earlier confirmations this summer as well. Some, like John Cronan on SDNY, are already full for 2020 and 2021 and hiring for 2022. Anna Manasco is somehow full until 2023.

Anyone have any thoughts if the new appointees will post to OSCAR? Or should we send applications to chambers?

There are five more nominees that will likely get through the Committee tomorrow. There is a strong likelihood that they will also be confirmed soon.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:14 pmThis has been a huge week of confirmations for people still applying.

Valdarrama, in NDIL and stationed in Chicago, should also be confirmed tomorrow. He is supported by Democrats and opposed by some Republicans.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:14 pmThis has been a huge week of confirmations for people still applying.

Also note that the SDIL judges had a good amount of liberal opposition over guns and abortions. They got blue slips from Durbin and Duckworth despite that as part of a deal with the White House.

Re: 2021-2022 Clerkship Application Thread
Courts Matter Illinois had an op-ed in the Tribune about it today that Brian Fallon linked on Twitter. I'm sure there's more out there if you google around. Illinois has a longstanding screening committee system for nominees run by its senators, something like that for every two nominees the President's party gets the opposition gets one. Question 26 (the last one) of the Senate Judiciary Questionnaire for nominees is about how you were selected and nominees in Illinois typically describe it. It's how, for example, Mary Rowland got appointed by Trump and John Tharp got appointed by Obama. And how Scudder and St. Eve got appointed by Trump and confirmed unanimously-ish. Because of it the appointing president doesn't necessarily mean much in Illinois. You can see it even with older judges like Ilana Rovner, an incredibly liberal Bush I appointee on the Seventh Circuit.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:27 pmAnonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 9:58 pmAlso note that the SDIL judges had a good amount of liberal opposition over guns and abortions.

Anyone know when these newly confirmed judges will get their commissions (and then addresses/specific assignments)? Curious where one would mail an app and when

It'll happen in the next few months. But it looked like it might happen before October.

Had an interview last Friday but haven’t heard anything since then. Safe to say that I got dinged?

Re: 2021-2022 Clerkship Application Thread
Not unless they told you that you’d definitely hear from them by now if they were making you an offer (and even then, things happen). Some judges like to interview a complete pool before making an offer. No way to know unless they told you something very specific.
That said, you don’t have the offer until you have the offer, so you should mentally put it aside and move on.

Does anyone have a sense if any of the judges in this latest batch will be a particularly shiny name to have on a resume for 2022 COA applications?

Re: 2021-2022 Clerkship Application Thread
Going to a district that makes sense for your career is almost certainly more important, but Gujarati and Robinson were top AUSAs in their respective areas and Scarci, Blumenfeld, and Hinderaker were biglaw partners. If you define "batch" broadly Cronan is debatably the standout confirmee of the summer, particularly for conservatives, and he's tight with at least a few of the more prominent CA2 judges (including Katzmann).Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 12:11 pmDoes anyone have a sense if any of the judges in this latest batch will be a particularly shiny name to have on a resume for 2022 COA applications?

Any guess whether he'd be willing to consider a liberal whose resume reads as moderate, i.e. not an activist? In my limited research, he doesn't look like an obvious ideologue apart from the FedSoc membership.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 3:15 pmIf you define "batch" broadly Cronan is debatably the standout confirmee of the summer, particularly for conservatives, and he's tight with at least a few of the more prominent CA2 judges (including Katzmann).
