I've never understood how 0Ls (or at least most of them) could possibly know that they're interested in clerking.

I wouldn't say that I know that I want to clerk, but, at this point, it sounds interesting to me.

Because law students (0Ls too) are sheep

edit: to answer OPs question, if you're ok w/ debt. Go to Harvard (more open doors). If not, go to NW. Either way, my advice is to buy a warm jacket at llbean.com

Not sure why you would advise that when Patagonia is having a 50% off sale (as they are right now).

Just wanted to echo this. Very anecdotal obviously, but my friends have had the same experience. I think you'll find that, at least at NU, a fairly small portion of the class applies for clerkships. 3L at NU, for what its worth. As someone facing similar debt upon graduation to what you'd have from Harvard, I'd lean towards going to Northwestern. You'd probably be paying ~$1700 a month in loan payments with that amount of debt, where as you could be putting that money into savings (about $20k a year) if you didn't take out the debt. I don't think you can go wrong with these two options, but that's my two cents.

QFE this has been one of the more exciting polls in recent memory, and I read everything.

This poll will take 2 more weeks until we have a clear winner. We may need a recount a la Bush v Gore.
