Anyone have experience getting hired / bumped up to JS-14 for pay? Did a two year district clerkship and then practiced at a firm for a year so by my read I’m eligible for 14 when starting my upcoming COA clerkship but not many have info on this

You’ll be at 13, my understanding is 14 is for career clerks. I practiced for 3 years and I’m at 13

Does this wording suggest applying to term clerks? The chambers I’m going to does not have a career clerk

I mean I guess I just haven’t heard of any term clerks getting 14, cause the judge only gets one so if they use it they likely can’t offer that to anyone as a potential career clerk.

My understanding is JSP-14 kicks in after 2 years of clerking on a federal court so you *should* be eligible for the level increase (HR tells me I’ll be eligible for the final month of the clerkship🙃).

Thanks! And yes I technically will be eligible a month or two into it so enough time to warrant bugging some people about it

You become eligible for JSP-14 after 3 years post grad when at least two of those years was in federal service. The problem is that a judge is limited to one JSP-14 employee in each chambers. My judge has a JSP-14, but several of us were eligible because we had previously clerked and practiced. You do have to keep track of your time when you are eligible for promotions and your judge has to approve them.

Still WFH? What are other chambers doing for task management? Our chambers has been keeping up with assignments, incoming emails needing judge’s eyes, and written orders, all through Microsoft Planner. We share PDFs through Sharepoint folders.

We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.

Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?
