If you know the person, it's obviously fine. If the person is an alum of your law school, it's fine. But if you have no connection at all to the person, then I'm inclined to agree with you: it's weird to cold email.Anonymous User wrote:Hello Clerks!
Is it weird to receive random emails from people asking about a current/former clerkship experience or is this par for the course? OCS keeps suggesting this, but it seems odd if I don't know the person or they aren't an alum.
Thanks!
ETA: Your question asks about "current/former" clerks. No matter what, definitely don't email current clerks. That's risky even if you have a connection to the clerk; it's basically application suicide if you have no connection.
