Foreign Clerkships

Post by walkthegoose » Wed Apr 02, 2014 11:12 pm

Does anybody know the advantages/disadvantages of clerking on the Supreme Court of a foreign jurisdiction? I am considering applying to clerk there for a semester of my 3L year, but I don't know if it would look good on a resume/offer any career advantages. Does anybody have any information on this? I don't want to provide any more information in order to avoid outing myself. PM me if you need more details in order to offer advice. Thanks!

Curious about this as well.
if you want to bump your post just bump it, but don't sock-puppet anonymously. Also, a 3L internship is not a judicial clerkship, so this should be in the legal employment forum.

I think OCS is often pretty good at knowing about these kinds of internships that can never lead to post-grad jobs.

lol at outing yourself with 14 posts.

as far as relevancy, for actual clerkships, I do know of some big firms that would consider that a foreign clerkship at the highest level a prestigious clerkship if they do business in that country (clients, office there).
