I started a similar thread several days ago, relying on data from lawclerkaddict.com. However, as many posters pointed out, the lawclerkaddict.com data is at best incomplete and at worst inaccurate. I found the following info on NYU's website:

"Due to the efforts of the Law School’s judicial clerkship program, more than 130 graduates work as clerks every year. In Fall 2010, 45 NYU Law alumni will clerk at the federal appellate level. Seven of them will, like Marwell, clerk for the District of Columbia Circuit, while 10 others will be on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Three out of 10 clerks at the Delaware Court of Chancery, the go-to court nationally for business disputes, will come from the NYU School of Law. Alumni also clerk every year at the International Court of Justice in The Hague."

Does anyone have similar information from his/her school so that we can put together a relatively accurate list?

So you want to start a thread of self-reported data because of the inherent limits of lawclerkaddict's aggregation of self-reported data?

Yes. I believe that lawclerkaddict's data comes from individual user submissions, while the data I'm hoping to gather in this thread would ideally come from the law schools' websites/press releases/e-mails to students, etc. Even though both data sets are "self-reported," I figure that information put out by the law schools will likely be more accurate and complete.

Thanks for the helpful comment, anonymous user.

I'm assuming OP wants to establish a thread on the number of students who have secured clerkships from their respective law schools this year, as the title of his thread seems to indicate.
