About this data

I've only included clerks hired this year. A two-year clerk in the second year of a clerkship for 2007-2008, for instance, would not be included. I've been keeping some track of whether it's 3Ls or graduates, and I'll update that once we get some more data. Feel free to post anonymously. I'll add all the senior judges, and mark them as such, after I get more comfortable with the data and start getting wider results reported. Right now, I have absolutely zero data from any senior judge. Finally, I took most of my information from the Clerkship Notification Blog, linked in the sidebar, and for that I am truly grateful.
