Federal Judicial Internship > State??
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2010 4:44 pm
So I interviewed with a judge in state court, and he offered me the job on the spot. I respectfully asked for a week to think about it.
However, I did very well first semester, and I'm pretty sure I could land a federal district judicial internship. Still, I'm worried about turning down the state judge for a different judge, because more likely than not, I will practice in this state AND in this area (and he isn't that old!)
Is it THAT big of a deal that I'd miss out on a federal job this summer? I am fairly certain I could land one in the fall or winter, though I am considering transferring to a much better school where I will have more competition for those kind of jobs.
Thoughts? I hate to be a prestige whore about this, but I can't help thinking about it.
