For those of you who have information -- now's the time to post, so that candidates aren't vainly trying to send applications for positions that have already been filled. Also, remember that, although the blog is arranged by circuit, we mean for the posts to cover district courts as well as circuit courts (and don't forget the state court systems). We do have a few bits of district court information, but we'd like to see more. (And, doesn't someone have information on the Federal Circuit??)
Anyway, here's the rundown of the comments so far (you should assume we're talking about clerkships starting in 2014 unless stated otherwise, and cross-reference with OSCAR). Please post corrections here, but post new information to the appropriate circuit's page.
