Hamilton done for 2022, per a polite form email (and it's definitely a form email because it called even me impressive)

Looks like Durkin, Kennelly, Pacold, Pallmeyer, Seeger, and Wood are left for this cycle. Any tea on whether they've interviewed yet? Or whether any others are going to post late like a couple judges did last year?

Wood moved on the first day and has already extended at least one offer.

That's Diane, of course. I realized belatedly you meant Andrea

Durkin will likely take his time. I don't think he's started interviewing yet. Same with Seeger.

Pacold's also a slow mover, and I think she mainly hires COA clerks now so she's often not bound by the plan

Did anyone just receive an email from Judge Pallmeyer without any content in it besides their name and email?

Yes, I'm assuming that was a rejection email with a mail merge glitch. The position is already listed as "filled" on OSCAR, and I'd imagine that if it were an interview request, the subject line would say so.

Ok thank you, so just to confirm, you also received it?

Not the anon you replied to, but my friend and I also got this email.

Also got an email that Kennelly filled his positions.

Nothing on Seeger, but he moves pretty late, so I wouldn't expect to hear anything for a while. Has anyone heard of movement from Flaum?

Seeger takes forever. However long you expect him to take, it will take longer. Great reputation though and he could be super selective if he wanted to be.

Does anyone know how the NDIL judges compare ideologically? With Illinois' whole deal where the president's party and senators' party each gets a few picks, it seems like appointing president is not always a good reflection of ideology. Which of the NDIL judges would you all say are more solidly liberal versus centrist (or just not ideological) versus conservative/Fed Soc-y?

Ideology isn't much of a thing for district judges, but Kness and Pacold are Fed Soc-y, and Tharp and Seeger are kind-of-sort-of-maybe.

Former NDIL clerk here, I'd say Rowland, Lee, Coleman, Wood, Alonso, Chang, and Ellis are the liberals. The vast majority (e.g. Feinerman, Pallmeyer, Tharp, Durkin, Dow, Shah, Seeger) are moderate/non-ideological. Only Blakey, Pacold, and Kness (and Kendall to some extent) strike me as FedSoc-type conservative.
