In the hire in 2010, multiple slots in the same office and new offices in the upper midwest (Ohio,Michigan,Indiana). Lots of those judges have transferred out to various other places since then. Otherwise, there was seldom more than 1 slot in any given office in the country and most of those were in region 4. For what is it worth, I look for Toledo, Detroit, Mt. Pleasant, Akron/Cleveland, maybe a national hearing center or two to be the hotbeds for hires. While a vacant ALJ office is one of the considerations, management should also be looking at the available staff and the pending workload. As one other poster noted, an office short on staff doesn't need the extra work of a judge. Nor does one with a low workload. How often does an ALJ get an initial assignment to a NHC? It's been fairly common since the St Louis NHC opened. Its quite large (built for 18 judges) and hasn't been a popular with sitting ALJ's to go to or stay. I don't think any of the other NHC's have gotten new hire with the possible exception of Falls Church right after it expanded its size.
