Judicial Internships for 2L
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 3:11 am
Hi,
I'm a 2L, top 1/3 at a T25 school. COmpletely struck out at OCI.
I want to work with a prosecutor after law school, but know judges give great recs.
Would a federal magistrate judge who is VERY well known in the legal community I'm in (founded multiple legal associations here, etc.) be a better internship than one with a prosecutor I actually might want to work for?
Not sure how the pecking order works with judges, or if there is a benefit to doing one or the other.
Also, will he likely give me time to decide? I've heard judges are on-the-spot and no revocation kind of people.
