Supreme Court Clerk Hiring Watch: Are Any Spots Left For October Term 2014?

Can you help us find the two missing SCOTUS clerks for October Term 2014?

By

Sorry, hunters of Supreme Court clerkships. We’re pretty sure that the justices are done hiring for October Term 2014. After Monday’s hiring update, we received a slew of new tips, almost filing up the OT 2014 roster. It’s time to start turning your hopes towards October Term 2015.

As we’ve mentioned before, we devote extra attention to the last clerks whose hirings we hear about. It’s the SCOTUS clerk version of the NFL draft’s Mr. Irrelevant.

So who are we missing? Let’s look at the updated list….

It seems that we’re missing one clerk to Justice Ginsburg — upon information and belief, this person previously clerked for Judge Pierre Leval (2d Cir.) — and the clerk to retired Justice Souter. When we learn of these folks’ identities, we’ll give them nice detailed write-ups.

Here’s the list. As always, if you have any additions or corrections, please email us (subject line: “SCOTUS clerk hiring”) or text us (646-820-8477). Thanks.
