Last day we will probably hear something this week because of the holiday. Please post if you get an offer or have your references checked!

Feel like I could vomit

I hate all of this! Ugh.

If it makes you feel any better, Friday is not a holiday for DOJ. This does not mean that the majority of them don't take the day off, but they would have to take a holiday to do so.

I know that Chicago has already hired at least two law clerks.

how do you know that? also, do you know how many total they're hiring? Chicago was my top choice.

I would HATE to have to study for finals and have this hanging over my head.

Just received an offer from EOIR-OCIJ with the Portland office. Will be accepting today. Good luck to all!

Does anyone know when first round offers will be completed and are the offers sent out by court?

[Anonymous User]

Received an offer yesterday from EOIR-OCIJ with the San Diego office. The offer was an email from EOIR, not the specific court. I interviewed on 10/27, my references were checked the following week, and SD was my first choice. Good luck everyone!!!!

Are these OCIJ offer emails coming later in the day or throughout? Wondering if I can limit my stress to the afternoon

Friend got an offer for the Boston court (EOIR-OCIJ) this afternoon. It was their first choice, and they checked the box.

Congrats on the offer! SanDiego was my first choice hope they have more than one spot there lol. I know my references were checked last week and I interviewed a week before you. Hopefully I have an offer not too far behind. Good luck to all and congratsto those who are no longer having to stress.

EDITED: Two SLIPs accepted funnel offers for HP, and I'm not sure how many people the Court is hiring.

Offer from OCIJ

Same questions as above do you mind saying what court or what state even and if it was one of your choices for location? Congrats and finally some movement.

Thanks! Smaller Midwest court.. 1st preference.

I'm going to the midwest, too! It was my first choice, as well.

I totally understand if you feel uncomfortable answering this, but did you get an offer from a major city in the midwest? I put Chicago as my top choice, and I think it's safe to say that I should be giving up on my dream.

No! Don't give up yet! The person that said that Chicago was offered was SLIP not HP. I am not Anon above, but I have a feeling it isn't Chicago.

I should have clarified. Two SLIPs received funnel offers for HP for the Chicago Court.

I'm curious--how many cities did people rank? I ranked four, but I wonder if I should have ranked more...

Sorry, yes. I'm a non-SLIP offer for Chicago. But we don't know how many clerks they're hiring, or other courts may pleasantly surprise you, so don't give up yet!

I ranked six and I was worried about that too...

I only ranked four as well, but I'm older and less willing to move where I don't have people than I would be if I was 25. I'm worried about it, but I'd rather not get an offer than be at a rural court so...

Assuming no more offers will be issued today... Happy Thanksgiving y'all.

Until Friday.

I wish but I'm not keeping my hopes up there is probably few people working today.
