The Early Outlook: Who's already hiring for 2013?

The spring off-plan hiring season is still a few months away, but we are already receiving quite a few reports of off-plan and alumni hiring.  Judges on the Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits have already hired clerks for 2013-14.  Some of those judges have even hired 2Ls.  And on the Second Circuit, a few judges have begun hiring for 2014-15.

So who is looking now for 2013?  Here is a rundown of the current list of "available" positions on OSCAR.  Note that many of these judges may review alumni applications early, but student applications on-plan.  The fact that a judge is accepting apps now does not mean that the judge is reviewing apps now.  Likewise, a judge is not "off plan" simply because he or she appears on this list.  For a list of judges known or rumored to be off-plan, see this post.

• Bybee (9th Cir.)
• Calabresi (2d Cir.)
• Carney (2d Cir.)
• Chagares (3d Cir.)
• Chin (2d Cir.) (continued after the jump . . .)
