Supreme Court Clerk Hiring: A Few More OT 2007 Hires

Supreme Court hallway Above the Law Above the Law Above the Law.JPGA quick update to yesterday's post about Supreme Court clerk hiring for October Term 2007. Here are two more hires we've just learned about:

1. Chief Justice John Roberts has hired Joshua Hawley (Yale 2006 / McConnell).

From The Journal's Journal (an email newsletter for Yale Law Journal members):

Congratulations to Volume 115 Articles Editor Josh Hawley, who will be clerking for Chief Justice John Roberts in OT ‘07. He joins Editor-in-Chief C.J. Mahoney (Kennedy OT ‘07) and Notes Editor Marah Stith (Thomas OT ‘09) as 115 Board Members who will be clerking for the Supreme Court.

2. Justice Ruth "But I'm a Cheerleader" Ginsburg has hired Ruthanne Deutsch (Georgetown 2004 / Dyk (Fed. Cir.)). Deutsch is currently an associate at Sidley Austin in DC.

Once again, we reprint an updated tally of October Term 2007 clerks, reflecting these two additions (and the correct spelling of Zach Tripp's last name), after the jump.

What about Souter?

I'm sorry if I've missed this, but is CT done hiring for 08?

Any relation to OT 05 Ginsburg clerk Rebecca Deutsch?

Yes. And CT is into 2009.

I know about CT into 2009, but my understanding from Lat's earlier post was that the 2009 hire didn't necessarily suggest that 2008 was full.

Can anyone confirm the 2008 status either way?

I'm pretty sure OT 2008 full for Thomas. William Consovoy is now OT 2008. And isn't Jenn Mascott (sp) too?

I don't have any inside information, but I think it's generally rumored that this is the time Souter does his interviewing. So there wouldn't much info about his hires yet.

Not 100% certain, but I think that the last RBG hire is Tom Saunders (Yale 2004/Leval), and that Breyer hired Michael Bosworth (Yale 2003/Rakoff (SDNY) & Katzmann).

...is he the new Wilkinson? Look at that feeding...

This makes 4 people from GDC's 2005 Washington office summer class with upcoming SCOTUS clerkships--John Bash, Mara Stith, CJ Mahoney, and Josh Hawley. Querry whether we will see such a number again if GDC doesn't match what others are paying in DC (i.e., $160K).

No UVA grads eh?

#4 for Roberts is Erin Morrow (Yale 2005/Wilkinson?)

Josh Hawley, eh? Well, ROCK STATE! Rock's on a rampage, ew, ah!
