  • A New Perspective on the Timeliness of State Supreme Courts
    JURISDICTION, CASELOAD, AND TIMELINESS OF STATE SUPREME COURTS A Report Prepared by Dr. Roger A. Hanson Consultant June 2001 This document was developed by the National Center for State Courts under a grant from the State Justice Institute (No. SJI-98-N-038). The points of view expressed do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the National Center for State Courts or the State Justice Institute. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is on the timeliness of state supreme courts. According to the Appellate Court Performance Standards, expedition is one of the three primary goals state appellate courts should strive to achieve. The other values are fairness and consistency. What is the actual time taken to resolve cases? How do state supreme courts stand in relation to the numerical time frames proposed by the American Bar Association (ABA)? What are the problems of and prospects for comparing state supreme courts with one another? These are the organizing questions addressed in this report. Five courts are the objects of study. They include the Supreme Courts of Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio and Virginia. All of these courts are seven member bodies. What emerges from an inquiry of cases resolved by these courts in 1996 and 1997 is an interesting tale. There are three key propositions based on analysis of the jurisdiction, caseload mixture, and timeliness of the five courts. They include the following: First, contrary to both popular and established scholarly views of state supreme courts in two-tiered appellate systems, state supreme courts have substantial numbers of several kinds of cases to resolve.

  • E-Filing in State Appellate Courts: an Updated Appraisal (September 2014)
    E-Filing in State Appellate Courts: An Updated Appraisal (September 2014) Originally by David Schanker, Clerk (retired), Wisconsin Supreme Court and Court of Appeals Updated and revised by Timothy A. Gudas, Deputy Clerk, New Hampshire Supreme Court1 Introduction In 2010, David Schanker, with the editorial assistance and contributions of NCACC members Polly Brock, Stuart Cohen, Carol Green, Trish Harrington, Blake Hawthorne, Judy Pacheco, Rex Renk, Rachelle Resnick, and Holly Sparrow, authored a White Paper entitled “E-Filing in State Appellate Courts: An Appraisal.” The 2010 White Paper reported that electronic filing (e-filing) had been implemented in “every federal district court in the nation and in several federal courts of appeal, while in state appellate courts, electronic filing continued to be discussed far more than it had been realized.” According to the 2010 White Paper, the states’ progress toward appellate (as well as trial court) e-filing had been “agonizingly slow,” with only fifteen states having implemented appellate e-filing systems of any kind.2 The stated purpose of the 2010 White Paper was to “provide a 1 This 2014 Updated Appraisal was written with the assistance and contributions of numerous NCACC members, including Tom Hall, Mike Richie, Bessie Decker, Jenny Kitchings, Blake Hawthorne, Joe Stanton, and countless others who reviewed sections summarizing the status of e-filing in their states. In addition, this 2014 Updated Appraisal is directly indebted to the work of those who contributed to the 2010 White Paper, substantial portions of which are repeated here with minimal or no change. 2 The 2010 White Paper defined an appellate e-filing system as either (1) an Internet portal used for the transmission of electronically-filed documents from filers to the courts or (2) a scheme for the voluntary or required transmission of electronic documents to the court by e-mail.

The positions usually start in August or September of each year. Deadlines for applications to federal judges are rolling and determined by individual judges. Student applicants should apply beginning in February of 2L year (2D, 3E). Some federal judges will accept applications from students during the fall or spring of their 3L year. For Class of 2020 grads, applications will be released beginning June 17, 2019. For Class of 2021 grads, applications will be released beginning June 15, 2020. Applications for judicial clerkships with state court judges are due for some states during the 2nd year of law school, and for most states, during the fall of the 3rd year of law school. More positions are available with state court judges in your final semester as well. Judicial law clerk (“judicial clerk”) experience is universally recognized by the legal community to be extremely useful in law practice, so it is one of the most valuable experiences you could ever want on your resume.
