Interviewing craziness
So I got a phone call today and was given another interview tomorrow in Sacramento with a Federal District Judge. In terms of longterm prestige, externing with a Federal District Judge is about as good as it gets (the only ones that would be better are to extern for a 9th Circuit Appellate judge or a California Supreme Court judge... there are maybe 6 or 7 extern spots in total there at most; all of which are surely taken by now)... a California Appellate Court, however, would probably have more interesting work, despite not having the longterm prestige of a Federal District Court.... so the question is: more interesting work, or more prestige? (Note: If I want to be a judge one day outside of California, the District Court's probably the way to go, heck if I want any recognition outside California, the District Court's the way to go...)... *aiyah* decisions, decisions, decisions... oh wait, I don't even have a job offer yet...
