Interested in clerking? The Ninth Circuit has a helpful video.
It is a common misconception that judges only hire from the “top 14” law schools for federal clerkships. The Ninth Circuit has produced a video providing insight into the law clerk application process. The video includes perspectives from a law professor and three practicing lawyers, all of whom are former law clerks who graduated from schools other than the “top 14” law schools, and from Ninth Circuit Judge John Owens. The participants provided down to earth suggestions for how to manage the application process, and Judge Owens spoke from both a former clerk’s perspective and a hiring judge’s perspective. https://lnkd.in/gjZVd5qG

It is really nice to see one of the circuits trying to address this issue head on. Law clerk hiring is way too much of a black box--the more transparency, the better for everyone--and the more likely law clerk hires will actually be a reflection of the overall population of lawyers. There's no need to go to a T14 law school to be an amazing law clerk. Nor should there be a need to have an "in" with a feeder professor to get a great clerkship.

Today marks the official completion of my clerkship with the Appellate Court of Maryland! Here are some tips I’ve learned in my first year of “practice,” that is, legal work after law school (clerks cannot actually participate in the “practice of law”). Let’s call it #lawwithLisa: 1) Great appellate attorneys prepare for an appeal from the moment the complaint is filed. It’s much harder to clean up the mess of a trial and get the best outcome for your client if no one thought to preserve issues, even seemingly innocuous ones, for appeal. 2) A whole case can turn on a single word. 3) Judges ask attorneys difficult questions because they want to understand the attorney’s perspective. The more you try to argue around their point, the less you get across. 4) Good writing is rarely done in less than three drafts. 5) The “right” answer is not necessarily the best answer, depending on who you ask. #lessonsforlawyers

THIS IS A PERSONAL ACCOUNT Assistant District Attorney General - Trial attorney handling criminal cases. Opinions my own.
Law students, Some of the best things you can do for your career are free. For anyone studying law, here is one free suggestion that will make a difference in your career search: * Go to court and watch. Go multiple days. Talk to the people who work at the courthouse. Talk to lawyers, and clerks, and Deputies. Watch, learn, and get a sense of life at the courthouse. Even if you don't think you want to litigate or try cases, go to court and watch. Almost every case you read in law school started in a courthouse. They are the engines of the law. #lawstudents

Outstanding video from OSCAR (Online System for Clerkship Application and Review - https://oscar.uscourts.gov) providing insight into the judicial law clerk application process that also dispels myths. Full description: "A common myth regarding federal clerkships is that judges only hire graduates of the top 14 law schools. This video challenges that myth and provides insight into the law clerk application process from multiple perspectives including a current Ninth Circuit judge, a law professor and three practicing lawyers -- all of whom are former law clerks from non T-14 schools." https://lnkd.in/gKVtrjFJ
