This is the spot for information about when specific judges start making offers and which judges have wrapped up hiring for the term."
David Lat at Above the Law: "If you're in the hunt for a judicial clerkship, whether state or federal, here's a great website that you should be aware of ...."
Professor Eugene Volokh of UCLA at the Volokh Conspiracy: "[The Clerkship Notification Blog] is a clearing house for applicants, clerks, and others to post information about which judges are interviewing, have hired, and the like. Sounds like a useful resource ...."
University of Illinois College of Law Professor Lawrence B. Solum at the Legal Theory Blog: "The Clerkship Notification Blog provides a clearinghouse for information about judicial clerkships--which judges have picked and filled their slots and which judges still have open positions.

Judge Block in the EDNY is looking for a short term clerk (3-4 months) to begin ASAP. The position could become a 1 or 2 year position (depending on whether his current 2-year clerk decides to stay for another year or not). Interested candidates should send applications by mail and can email questions to charles_cone@nyed.uscourts.gov.

Help me manage my expectations here . . . I'm an alum with a so-so GPA from a T14, but I've got 3 rec letters that are strong and (I think) well balanced--public interest, a partner, and a professor. Are rec letters and some interesting experience enough? or does my GPA immediately put me on the discard pile?

Anyone hear from Sullivan?
To Anon from Sept. 3:
It depends on how "so-so" your grades are -- if they're not in the top third, it probably will go in the discard pile. Though perhaps you might get a second look if you're at a V10 or 20 firm. Also, it will probably depend more on where you are applying -- if not in the top third, SDNY is probably out of reach, but others should be within reach.
Does anyone know if amon is still hiring?
Thanks-but-no-thanks cards from: Bloom, Marrero and Stanton. Email of the same sentiment from Reyes.

Nothing from EDNY.

Jones isnt hiring for 2009-10. And no word from EDNY here, either.
Does it mean anything that I haven't heard anything yet?
I'd love to know if all hope is lost as well. Any thoughts for those of us who haven't heard anything yet?
seibel? anyone?
At least a few judges on the EDNY haven't made calls yet.
How about SDNY? Any judges that haven't made calls?
Based on what I've been told by friends who are current and former clerks, and on comments in the clerkship thread over at ATL, all is not completely lost if you haven't heard from anyone yet. It's not a great sign, but it's not the end of the world either.

The only EDNY judges that have been confirmed as finished (as far as I can tell) by this blog, OSCAR or postcard are:
-Ross
-Vitaliano
-Weinstein
-Bloom
-Reyes
I'm sure there are others, but this the list I've put together. Additions are welcome.
Katz is done hiring.
any other SDNY hiring news?
Vitaliano is, in fact, not finished.
9/12, 9:09 a.m. here. Sorry, gang, that list was based on over-broad assumption that judges who had made calls would be finished. Won't happen again.
Sweet is done.
Batts is done.
Is Stein done?
Does anyone know if Korman, Garaufis or Amon in the EDNY have made calls?
Has anyone heard from Trager?
Korman has made calls
Korman is done
Trager called on the 8th and was scheduling interviews on the 11th
when did korman make calls?
Any updates on Daniels? Had an interview with him back in July. Really impressed with him, but haven't heard anything since. Not sure if "no news" is "good news" in these scenarios.
Most of you have likely seen that Mauskopf just listed herself on OSCAR.
Any views on what that means for those of us who applied to her two weeks ago? I assume re-apply is a great way to earn a clerk's ire, but do you think it means the applications she already received got thrown out?
There should be a Law Clerk Addict for the SDNY. I will start it in this post. For 2009:
Wood: NYU
Sand: NYU
Kaplan: NYU
Sweet: NYU
Patterson: Harvard
Koeltl: NYU, Harvard
Scheindlin: Yale
Lynch: Harvard
Rakoff: Harvard, Harvard, NYU
Berman: NYU
Holwell: Harvard
Sullivan: Georgetown
Leisure: Columbia
Swain: Berkeley
Griesa: Georgetown, Columbia
To 12:58 pm on 9/14: Did you previously apply for a different Mauskopf position (i.e., one not starting in January 2009)? Or did she re-post for the same position?
Anyone else know anything about her hiring schedule for the January 2009 position?
To 9/15, 1:09 p.m.
I believe she previously was listed as "not hiring" on OSCAR.
What about EDNY? What schools are the clerks from?
Adding to 9/14/08 9:42 PM --
Cedarbaum: Boalt, Columbia

Scheindlin: Yale
Lynch: Harvard
Rakoff: Harvard, Harvard, NYU
Berman: NYU

Does anyone know if Garaufis has started interviewing for 2010?
Anyone have info on Vitaliano?

Has Ellis hired?
Trager -- an earlier listing said he made one hire, but does anyone know if he's finished? His OSCAR listing is still open...
I know Trager hired one from Penn pretty early on. In all likelihood he is probably done.
Garaufis EDNY has hired one for 2010.

September 26, 2008 12:43 PM: Did you interview with Daniels or was it a more general rejection letter?
Trager's OSCAR confirms he's done.
Mauskopf anyone?
Stanton? Pauley?
What's going on out there? Is it possible that Chin, Stanton, Crotty, Mauskopf & Co still haven't hired? Or is it simply the case that the folks who were hired have forsaken the notification blog? I thought SDNY and EDNY would be wrapped up in the first 2 weeks, but there seem to be a lot of question marks out there.
From what I heard through a friend, Crotty has made his decisions.
Stanton is done.
Vitaliano has hired at least one.
According to Chin's chambers, he is still accepting applications (or, at least, I can "feel free to send [one] in")
Judge Chin is still calling and interviewing.
Pauley is done. Hired a 3L at Duke.
Has Mauskopf made calls?
Is Chin still interviewing or is he finished? And has anyone had an interview with Mauskopf?

Still nothing from Mauskopf?
Has anyone called Mauskopf to see when she intends to interview?

block called for 2009
I am hoping to hear from Suddaby, but for '09. Anyone else hear?

I called Magistrate Judge Kevin Fox's chambers, and he's still interviewing.
I also called Judge Mauskopf's chambers, and she too is still interviewing. The guy I spoke to made it seem like they're not in any hurry, even though the clerkship was supposed to start last week.
Has anyone heard from Judge Gershon in the EDNY?
Has anyone heard from Judge Pauley? Also, any updates on Judge Mauskopf?
