Clerkship Work & Interest
I was hoping current and former clerks (preferably federal district or CoA) could comment on how interesting or rewarding they found the work of clerking. I'm especially interested in how you found your work in comparison to work you did/are doing in Biglaw. Of course the hours and context are very different beasts, but I'm intrigued if the hours were assumed to be equal, would clerkship work still be more interesting/rewarding than junior associate work? All subjective, I know, but honest responses are appreciated!

Lol. Way lower hours, vastly more interesting work. I'm going to wildly guess that 95% of clerks feel that way.

Re: Clerkship Work & Interest
Good to hear. I've heard anecdotally that some judges have killer hours comparable to Biglaw, not just the bigshot feeders either. But it's still good to hear that the work is far more interesting.traydeuce wrote:Lol. Way lower hours, vastly more interesting work. I'm going to wildly guess that 95% of clerks feel that way.
