Judge Cannon's Law Clerks have been Quitting on her

[TBF]

33. Definitely odd - and I would expect the clerks would come up with good cover stories

for leaving if they want out (these are not dumb kids - clerks for federal courts are normally top students from the highest ranked law schools). It would be very interesting to know what is going on in there. If she is out of her depth in terms of not handling a case of this magnitude previously, it could be fairly chaotic and stressful behind the scenes. Typically, judges don't even have to advertise openings. Every fall students send off their resumes to the courts in hopes of being called by the judges for interviews - this is the way it has been done for decades - with hiring in place months or even more than a year in advance. Top 2nd year law students, for example, will line up federal clerkships to start after their final (3rd) year. At the same time they will also be courted by the large law firms with offers that start after the clerkships.
