Virus changes clerkship hiring process

Law.com reports Federal Judicial Clerkship Hiring Process Revamped Due to COVID-19

• This year, OSCAR will release applications to judges on June 15. Judges will then have a 24-hour period in which to review applications—a modification added this year—and may start interviewing candidates on June 16. They must hold offers open for 48 hours to allow students to interview with other judges. The committee will reevaluate the pilot plan at the end of the 2020 clerk hiring cycle.
