top 20%, LR at Vandy. Assume 2L grades stay roughly the same. Any idea which clerkships I should be applying for, if any particular ones? Appreciate it.

district courts in the 4th/5th/6th/11th circuits are probably your best bet

Vandy has one of the best clerkship placement committees in the nation; it outperforms its rank almost every year. Go talk to them about your interest and they will be best suited to give you an idea of where you can end up.

Thanks for the tip. What is a clerkship placement committee?

Basically a group of professors and CSO staff that help students get into judicial clerkship programs.
