Generally they will be placed with circuit judges for 2017-2018 (often feeders), & then might clerk for him on #SCOTUS later.

But aren't all circuit judges full for 2017-18?

Generally - but in the past, somehow spots magically appear for these folks. There might be openings here or there,

Has a clerk in this situation (hired when justice was on circuit court) not ultimately clerked at SCOTUS?

Are david and I exhibits B and C? (But usually is judge willing to hire, will bring to DC as justice).
-
No, you two probably would have been great!
