Information in this blog and on our website – especially, but not limited to, the spreadsheets about judges’ hiring status and lists of HLS clerks – is sensitive and confidential, for use by Harvard Law School clerkship applicants only. Please keep this in mind and do NOT share such information with judges, friends at other schools, etc. Although some of the information we compile is public (from OSCAR posts, etc.), much of it is not public and instead generated from within the HLS umbrella with an expectation of privacy. Even alluding to the extent of the information from HLS sources could dilute any competitive advantage you gain from it.
