Official duty station[edit]

When I converted the current judges over to the U.S. judgeship current template, I purposefully did not copy over the official duty station. I have some serious concerns about the correctness of some of the duty stations, and I would like them to be reviewed instead of blindly copied over.

I've been using the law clerk information database at https://lawclerks.ao.uscourts.gov/web/jobSearch. It may not have all of the senior judges, but it's a good start. --PrinceValium 01:09, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Here's what I have

Walker - New Haven
Jacobs - NYC
Calabresi - New Haven
Cabranes - New Haven
Straub - NYC
Pooler - Syracuse
Sack - NYC
Sotomayor - NYC
Katzmann - NYC
Parker - Stamford (note that there might be a recent move either to or from White Plains)
Raggi - Brooklyn
Wesley - Geneseo
Hall - Rutland VT
Feinberg - NYC
Oakes - Brattleboro VT
Meskill - Hartford (?)
Newman - Hartford
Kearse - ??
Cardamone - Utica
Winter - New Haven
Miner - Albany
McLaughlin - ??

Parker has recently moved from White Plains, NY. Two pieces of evidence support this:

The FJC web page indicates that Parker was a district judge for the Southern District of New York prior to his elevation to the circuit court.
[1] indicates Parker's duty station is White Plains, NY, but is clearly several years old, since Hall's seat is listed as a vacancy. Meanwhile the job site is listing locations for the 2005 - 2006 term, among others.

Therefore, I would list Parker as Stamford.

I'm curious: where do you get that Meskill is based in Hartford?

BTW, the list you posted agrees with the list of duty stations that I didn't copy over, except that Walker was listed as NYC (which is one of the judges I was concerned about) and Meskill was listed as New Britain, CT.

I'm pretty sure Meskill is at New Britain. See http://www.internships-usa.com/fedct/1st.htm. The same site lists Walker in New York, but a more recent site lists him in New Haven. --PrinceValium 02:03, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Policy on en banc review[edit]

Reading up on Arar v. Ashcroft, I see several comments noting that the 2nd circuit has a strong tendnancy not to grant en banc review. For instance, secondcircuitcivilrights.blogspot.com notes: "The Second Circuit is notorious for denying nearly every request for en banc review."

Could someone knowledgeable about this with appropriate references write up something for this page? Thank you. jhawkinson (talk) 17:16, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
