Movement
Yesterday, the plan opened for all current 2Ls. Anyone hear of or know of any movement since then? I imagine there’s been lots.

Re: Movement
My T14 (MVPD) saw very little movement yesterday from what I've heard, even among applicants who are definitely competitive. Which makes me think most judges who bothered to wait until the plan opened are also waiting until the actual noon start time for contacting applicants. I could just be OOTL though.

Re: Movement
I sort of expected this board to explode with updates just after noon. Any reason why that's not happening?

I interviewed with her in a previous cycle - I think she always acts really quickly.

Only received one email and I am extremely happy (top three in class at MVPD). Idk, I have little to no hope for this cycle but maybe I am just being pessimistic.

I’ve heard nothing. Not sure what MVPD stands for, but I’m above 4.0 at a T-20 and applied to half district half COA clerkships.

Nothing here either. Top 1% at school ranked 50-70. Applied to a mix of DJs, MJs, and a handful of CoA.

Re: Movement
The fact that we have to somehow set apart MVPD from other, similarly ranked schools (like CCN) is hilarious. As if law students and lawyers couldn't find any more excuses to gatekeep.

It’s especially funny because last year Duke was behind NU (and due to over-enrollment probably will be next year too).Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 8:38 pmThe fact that we have to somehow set apart MVPD from other, similarly ranked schools (like CCN) is hilarious.

I have above a 3.8 at CLS and most of my classes were "real" black letters. Recommenders I know pretty well who made calls. Applied to lots of non-NY judges. Nothing.

Rough few days for CLS.

Another grad here. OJC has been so bad, ranging from just not good advice to actively wrong information. The office is deliberately opaque and extremely unhelpful.

Top 10% at CCN here. I applied to ~35 clerkships, mostly district court clerkships in major cities. I've only gotten two interview requests so far.

Re: Movement
I was a transfer this year fortunate enough to pick up a very good recommender this year, but my grades are nothing special in general for CLS despite very good 1L-school grades. I was told to not apply to certain judges by OJC basically might piss off this recommender because my grades weren't good enough.
