NJ state clerkships

Post by Ls456 » Tue Jul 24, 2018 3:58 pm

Has anyone else been receiving calls for interviews from judges you didn’t apply to? Is it ok to turn down interviews with them? divisions and locations I have absolutely no interest in.

Yes, I received a few calls for divisions/locations I wasn't interested in. Apparently they can see your application when it's uploaded even if you didn't apply. I turned down the interviews saying something like the geographic location was not of interest to me, and I didn't receive any pushback or a negative feeling

Ok great, thank you. Does that mean they can see which judges we applied to and our cover letters to those judges or just our resume? Seems kind of weird.
