Mention Aspiration to Clerk at OCI?
Would it be an alright uniform policy to mention to firms that I'm interested in clerking? Or is there a drawback to that?

Firms have very different stances on this matter - some actively encourage clerking and others will ding you right off the bat for mentioning it. I would say not to bring it up until you know the specific firm's policy (you can contact alums, SAs, etc.).
