Program Description:
Thinking about clerking? Join us for an engaging discussion with judges, practicing attorneys, and former law clerks as we unpack the lasting value of judicial clerkships. Whether you’re considering a federal or state position, trial or appellate court, this panel offers candid insights into how clerking shapes legal thinking, writing, and career paths. Panelists will share how their clerkship experiences influenced their professional growth, opened doors, and informed their approach to advocacy. You'll leave with practical advice on whether a clerkship is right for you, how to apply, and what to expect if you land one.
