My ultimate goal is a law firm in DC, and right now I have strong ties in DC and FL. I go to a T10 and haven't gotten responses from the vast majority of judges I applied to last December.
Is a federal judicial internship impressive no matter where it is, or are they easier to get than people think?
Please post your comments. Thanks.

In New York, Supreme Court is the trial court (as opposed to the court of last resort, as it is in most states and the federal system).
Federal trial court > state trial court.

Where would you rather live for the summer, FL or NY? That's how I would pick. Also keep in mind that you won't be getting paid (although depending on your school you might get some summer funding) so NY may be more expensive than FL.

Federal is better. BUT if you go to Columbia or NYU, I would do the one in NY so you dont have a double rent.

If you want to practice in either FL or NY, take that job. If you want somewhere else, try to get a job there. Otherwise, take the FL job because it's most "prestigious," although it isn't prestigious enough to make you stand out in any meaningful way.
