Re: Let's talk 5th Circuit!
I'm not asking for any particular reason, just curiosity, but how do politics play into 5th Circuit clerk hiring? Do conservative judges like Haynes and Southwick load up on FedSoc people while Higginson and Costa hire ACS/Outlaw folks? Or is it a non-factor? I would imagine it is very judge dependent, I'm just bored at work and curious to see what the process is like.

Re: Let's talk 5th Circuit!
Higginson has already hired at least one clerk for 2020. Costa was hiring for 2019 in July, but I have no idea how many he has hired.Anonymous User wrote:I don't know anything about the conservatives (so most of the circuit, lol) but Costa and Higginson are definitely hiring for 2019.Anonymous User wrote:I understand.

Re: Let's talk 5th Circuit!
Both judges you named are not conservative for 5th cir purposes, they wouldn't even crack the top 5. And both judges for the opposing view should not be treated as "liberal" judges. And to answer your question, yes, of course it is all judge dependent, but I can say it is more of a non-factor for many of the 5th cir judges.HenryHankPalmer wrote:I'm not asking for any particular reason, just curiosity, but how do politics play into 5th Circuit clerk hiring?
