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."

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.

Coughenour is still interviewing.

Coughenour called today
any word on Rothstein?
anyone know when Coughenour is going to make decisions?
Does Coughenour give exploding offers? Any word on how many people he's interviewed?
Any word on Lasnik?
do WA judges all follow the plan for current 3Ls? or do some of them hire earlier?
also, does anyone know how easy it is to get an interview without a strong link to seattle?
Seattle judges tend to have a strong preference towards applicants with Northwest connections. It's that whole "go away if you aren't from here" attitude. But strong credentials can probably overcome that as many judges have hired from top schools outside the Northwest.
Judge Coughenour hired the UW's Washington Law Review Editor-in-Chief.
Judge Lasnik only hires clerks with at least one year of post-grad experience, and he hires late (as in April)
Did Coughenour only have one slot, or is he still hiring another clerk?
martinez is done, per rejection email.
Law review editors are notoriously unpleasant people. Any word on Judge Robart? I applied from out east, so I know it's a long shot, but his OSCAR posting made him sound like a guy who would step outside the usual.
Robart?
Robart has hired for 2009.
Any word from Settle?
Just got an email from J. Lasnik's assistant asking if I still want to be considered. Anyone else get this? Is it no news or good news for recipients?
Does anyone know about Judge Robart's hiring timeframe for the temporary clerkship?
