Question Re: Magistrate Clerkships
I'm currently clerking for a district court judge in a large state. Would a clerkship for a magistrate judge in SDNY be an upgrade or downgrade? Would it help me land a job in NYC? I'm interested in AUSA, as well as firms.

Re: Question Re: Magistrate Clerkships
Related question. I know a clerkship with SDNY or D.Del for bankruptcy is seen as a solid step above the other bankruptcy courts. Does this apply to any of the districts for magistrates? I would guess DDC and SDNY, but don't know. Also, EDNY and EDVa?

Re: Question Re: Magistrate Clerkships
Given that NYC firms don't generally care much about connections to the city, and given that you're already clerking for a district judge, I'm not sure what the value-added would be for clerking with a magistrate, even in SDNY, with the exception of getting to know the local rules well in the process.
