Re: Let's talk 5th Circuit!
Worked with a former clerk, graduated magna from a T14 (not HYSC) within recent memory. The clerk spoke fondly of the experience and chambers, but he also had a poor reputation in the office work-wise and interpersonally.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed May 28, 2025 2:10 pmDoes anybody have info on Kyle Duncan?

Re: Let's talk 5th Circuit!
Anyone have info on Ho's application process (grade-sensitivity, timeline, etc.)? And also what he's like to work for? I have heard he screens mainly for ideological fit and hires from a pretty broad range of schools.

He doesn't care about grades and hires exclusively based on recommendations. He's a pretty great boss from all accounts but obviously you have to be an ideological fit.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sat Oct 11, 2025 9:23 pmAnyone have info on Ho's application process (grade-sensitivity, timeline, etc.)?

Damn. And I'd bet he doesn't trust many law profs, so I'm guessing the recommenders are often outside the law school bubble.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Oct 15, 2025 11:55 pmHe doesn't care about grades and hires exclusively based on recommendations.

Re: Let's talk 5th Circuit!
he usually hires two clerks a year from UChicago and two from other schools. Not very grade-sensitive.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sat Oct 11, 2025 9:23 pmAnyone have info on Ho's application process (grade-sensitivity, timeline, etc.)? And also what he's like to work for?

Re: Let's talk 5th Circuit!
Looking for info on Ho's hiring process. Is he very competitive? Any insight into what the interview is like?
Edit: I see now that this has already been discussed a bit. Would welcome any additional info though!

Re: Let's talk 5th Circuit!
I have noticed that most Willett clerks clerked elsewhere beforehand--often on SCOTEX. Anyone know if Willett actually *requires* a first clerkship, or is it more like WE of some kind is the expectation?
