Is this confirmed? Just asking because he updated his 17-18 and 18-19 postings on OSCAR yesterday and still lists two 17-18 spots as available.Anonymous User wrote:He's done hiring.Anonymous User wrote:Any insight or update on Judge Thomas of the Ninth Circuit?

Re: 2017-2018 Clerkship Application Thread
I strongly doubt that his OSCAR posting is incorrect, especially if it was updated yesterday. This would hardly be the first time that a TLS anon has incorrectly proclaimed a judge "full."Anonymous User wrote:Is this confirmed?

Re: 2017-2018 Clerkship Application Thread
not the same anon as above, but my source is the the letter he sent me saying that, while he found me immensely qualified, he would be selecting someone else, obviously less handsome, to fill his Billings clerk vacancy.

Is there any hope of landing a 2017 circuit clerkship? Are there any still out there?

Like this fall 2017??? That's going to be really tough. I would say only if someone backs out of a position. You could try monitoring the employment page at the US courts webpage as I tend to see more short notice stuff there than on OSCAR, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that at all.

I did. It's a bummer I didn't get the offer (still yet to get one from any judge), but he's a great judge and it was cool just to speak with him for an hour.

Re: 2017-2018 Clerkship Application Thread
I also wonder whether a COA judge who still has an open spot/someone backing out might be less inclined to post the position publicly - totally anecdotal, but where there's a somewhat urgent need to fill a spot I've seen judges rely a little more on pre-screened apps from someone they trust rather than take time to go through the OSCAR process.A.

Anyway, I agree with Nony that landing a 2017 COA clerkship at this point is pretty unlikely.

The best chance may be if any new judges get confirmed. That, however, seems unlikely given the snail's pace of nominations: http://www.uscourts.gov/judges-judgeshi ... -vacanciesmjb447 wrote:I also wonder whether a COA judge who still has an open spot/someone backing out might be less inclined to post the position publicly - totally anecdotal, but where there's a somewhat urgent need to fill a spot I've seen judges rely a little more on pre-screened apps from someone they trust rather than take time to go through the OSCAR process.A.

Re: 2017-2018 Clerkship Application Thread
That may help, although you still have to hope that any judges with open spots (probably a vanishingly small number to begin with) are letting your specific school/prof know that they have a spot. And, of course, you still have to be the candidate the judge wants. I just wouldn't hold out a lot of hope with so few positions still open.Anonymous User wrote:The bold is what I was getting at.
