Just out of curiosity, how long does it frequently take from the time you submit an application on OSCAR to when a judge might contact you for an interview? I realize there is tremendous variation, of course, but curious to hear peoples’ experiences.

I clerked in NDTX. We reviewed Oscar apps very sporadically throughout the year and filtered through the 200+ applications to get it down to a smaller amount (like 20-30) and went through those. So sometimes it may never get looked at. We mostly hired based on referrals or connections.

I think it really varies by judge. My district court judge required paper applications and followed the hiring plan usually interviewing the fall prior to the start of the clerkship regardless of when you submitted your application. My coa judge reaches out fairly quickly if she wants to interview a candidate, but we are also mostly paper/email applications. Neither had strict school/class rank/gpa cutoffs, but clerks also do not have much of a role in deciding who to interview for these judges. We offer opinions if we happen to know an applicant, but it is not a big factor at all. We generally don’t reach out to candidates who are not being considered.

Def agree that it varies by judge. My judge never saw a single application that we as clerks did not pick out for him to review.

Oof, that’s rough. Mind if I ask how you filtered? GPA and school? Or other criteria?

Usually class rank and/or GPA.

Interesting. Thank you for the insight. Would you recommend also sending email and/or paper applications in addition to the OSCAR portal app? Or would that just get annoying?

Agreed. Paper is still better.
