http://www.kyed.uscourts.gov/judges/judge-eab.htm
Clerks are KY '06, KY '07.
Most magistrate judges have ONE clerk. You think they're going to pick some prick from GULC ranked #298 in his class over the #3 local boy from UK who'll be working for Stites & Harbison when he graduates? Please. |

|
Date: April 5th, 2009 5:57 PM Author: beady-eyed market Go ahead, ask your career services. Ask them how many magistrate judge clerkship interviews go out to your class. Find out where they are. Find out their rank. Then, come back here. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=968665&forum_id=2#11340811) |

Date: April 5th, 2009 6:02 PM Author: Glittery Piazza Community Account said there are people with my stats who have gotten district court clerkships in bumblefuck.
said some got them, some didn't.
i figured by going for these even less prestigious clerkships i'd have a better chance. |

Date: April 5th, 2009 6:02 PM Author: cowardly factory reset button are there many, or just a few? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=968665&forum_id=2#11340851) |

Date: April 5th, 2009 6:03 PM Author: Glittery Piazza Community Account they said some got them, some didn't. didn't say whether there are many or a few. they told me one strategy would be to snag a mag clerkship, and then i'd have a better shot at district.

|
Date: April 5th, 2009 6:15 PM Author: beady-eyed market So, you didn't do that, because you didn't ask about mag clerkships.
And you don't have any numbers, you just have an optimistic career services telling you that YOU'LL GET IN EVERYWHERE YOU APPLY!
Excellent. |

Date: April 5th, 2009 5:40 PM Author: burgundy mediation abode maybe, I got interviews with a couple flyover state SC judges with with a worse GPA and school ranking than you, so who knows. This was a little bit before ITE though. And the state was pretty TTT. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=968665&forum_id=2#11340636) |
|
Date: April 5th, 2009 5:41 PM Author: Glittery Piazza Community Account i wouldn't mind working in a TTT state. is it worth it to apply to mag and bankruptcy courts in TTT states?
when do state supreme courts start taking applications? |
|
Date: April 5th, 2009 5:45 PM Author: burgundy mediation abode when do state supreme courts start taking applications? ------
Varies by court. Some don't even have law clerks (see e.g. California), because they have a staff atty system or have career clerks.
Many magistrates have career clerks too I've found. State courts generally take applications a bit later in the summer. You'd have to check the judiciary website for that state. ---
i wouldn't mind working in a TTT state. is it worth it to apply to mag and bankruptcy courts in TTT states? ---- Do you want to work in bankruptcy? If so, then yes it is worth it. If you DON'T want to work in bankruptcy, but just can't find anything else ITE, then still take the job. Bank judges obviously expect you to have taken a course in bankruptcy; some like actual practice experience.Magistrate clerkships involve a lot of pre-trial stuff and discovery, and some social security type stuff. I would probably take it over a bankruptcy clerkship, but that's just me. |

Date: April 6th, 2009 12:12 AM Author: Azure mentally impaired really tough guy You won't get a bankruptcy unless you've demonstrated an interest in bankruptcy law, according to my professor advisors.
As for when state supremes take apps, it's not until September for most of them. Call the courts up and ask.
From memory: LA accepts apps and hires on a rolling basis, TX accepts apps and hires alongside the federal plan, NJ is on a rolling basis, AK is in the spring, CO/NM/AZ lags a big behind the federal plan but not by much. |

Date: April 5th, 2009 6:08 PM Author: medicated flesh gunner thanks, i'm trying.
any advice for strategic bidding? i just want to make market and will go anywhere to do it. i was thinking that the best idea would be to bid on all lower v100 firms and play it safe.
how much of a national reach does the gulc degree have? would it be tough or easy to get a job in a secondary city (think minneapolis, seattle, boston) |
|
Date: April 6th, 2009 12:14 AM Author: Azure mentally impaired really tough guy I don't understand this "strategic bidding" shit. Don't you get to apply to all firms you want to? If not, that sucks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=968665&forum_id=2#11345029) |

Top quarter, great shot at COA. Just figure out a reason why you're not on LR to explain. Oh, and have a solid LOR who'll hit the phones for you.
