I’m finishing up my COA clerkship soon. I had an interview with a firm partner for a post-clerkship job. He’s written on a particular sub-area of law. My judge is on a panel hearing a case that’s very relevant to his interests. The case and the identity of the panel are all public information, and the case will be resolved well after I leave the clerkship. Is it inappropriate to send him a link to the docket in a thank you note and say I thought he’d find it interesting?

This is a question for your judge, or for the career clerk if there is one and if the judge has put her/him in a supervisory role.

I think this looks bad enough that I wouldn’t do it

Yes. Notifying someone of a public hearing on a public case is not something you need to clear with anyone.

I disagree. The recipient might like it, but the judge might not, if the judge knows about it. Doing this could, possibly, affect other options. Better not to put all your eggs in one basket.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!

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?
