Applicants should include sealed letters of recommendation with their application packet. Due to the high volume of applications, it is very difficult to match letters of recommendation with applications sent under separate cover.  Therefore letters sent separately will be discarded.

Additionally, please do not call chambers to inquire about the status of your application or to inquire about an interview. You will be contacted should the judge wish to meet with you.
