Seventh Circuit: Video Interviews of Judges

A few months ago, Appellate Daily reported on a series of video interviews posted on the Seventh Circuit Bar Association website.  At the time, the videos were only available to bar members, but now are open to the public, linked here.

The interviews, which feature the Seventh Circuit judges listed below (bios linked), as well as federal district court judges, magistrates, and others, are organized into short snippets, making it possible to glean valuable information whether you have five minutes or five hours.

William J. Bauer

Frank H. Easterbrook (Chief Judge)

David F. Hamilton

John Daniel Tinder

Ann Claire Williams

Diane P. Wood

New Resource for Seventh Circuit Attorneys (and a Teaser for Others)

The August 2010 issue of the ABA Journal contains an article outlining a new resource for members of the Seventh Circuit Bar Association.

The bar is making available "in-depth and frank video discussions with more than 45 distinguished jurists and trial lawyers across Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, seek[ing] to capture and share the bar’s institutional knowledge."  These videos are only available to members of the Seventh Circuit bar.

However, there is a short sample video available to all, containing comments from Seventh Circuit judges William Bauer and Diane Wood (from the bar home page, scroll down to the colored E-Mentoring box with a gray screen; click anywhere on that screen to begin).  The sample video is an effective teaser—definitely piques interest in the series as a whole.
