Thanks to all our readers and contributors who have made the Clerkship Notification Blog invaluable to law students, clerks, and judges, the ABA Journal has named us to their 2008 ABA Journal Blawg 100 List: "There’s nothing fancy in terms of layout or design, but hordes still flock here when it comes time to apply for coveted judicial clerkships. 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.

'08 Grad. Received a response from Judge (G.) Miller re setting up an interview in the next couple of weeks. I assume this means he is actively looking for 09-10.
'08 grad also. Wheeler said he has just started hiring for 09-10, setting up interviews.
Wheeler is finished for 09-10.
G. Miller has hired at least one for 09-10 (namely me)
Congratulations on the offer from Judge Miller. Do you know whether he plans on hiring two clerks for 2009-2010? He still has a clerkship listed on OSCAR.
My impression was that he was looking for two. I'm not completely sure but his current clerks started at the same time so I would think that would continue.
call this afternoon from firestone. interviewing later this week.
Anyone else hearing back from any other judges on Federal Claims?
Judge Bush is no longer hiring.
Allegra and Firestone have set up interviews.
Any word on Braden?
I received an e-mail from Braden the other day.
Judge Block called on Friday and started interviewing today.
How does the Court of Federal Claims compare in prestige and competitiveness to other district courts?
My general impression is that the CFC is less competitive than district courts in most large cities (NY, LA, DC, SF, Chicago, etc.), but comparable to district courts outside of those cities. A clerkship on the CFC will certainly be more valuable for those attorneys practicing in one of the areas over which the court has jurisdiction (e.g., gov contracts, takings, military/civilian pay, tax, etc.). I would like to hear about the background of some of the CFC clerkship applicants (e.g., school, GPA, journal, work experience, etc.).
Anyone know if Braden has hired?
has anyone heard about c. miller?

Block & Hewitt are both done.
Braden is done. Sent letters on Thursday.

interesting re braden. interviewed w/ her yesterday and she said she's still got one more to interview on monday.
Bruggink is calling.
C. Miller has apparently been out of town all of September, but my classmate was interviewed by her clerks.
Golkiewicz? Anyone know if C. Miller has taken any steps beyond her clerks interviewinig?
I interviewed with her clerks in mid Sept but haven't heard anything else.
Does anyone know if Bruggink hired? Oscar says he is still accepting applications. What about C. Miller?
Bruggink and Miller both hired. Oscar is usually not very up-to-date.
Announcement on the court's website said Hewitt was hiring. Applied but haven't heard anything. Application window was 4/6/09 - 4/17/09. Anyone know if this position has been filled?
I too applied for the position with Judge Hewitt, and have not heard anything. Let me know if you get any response on your end.
