Top Law Schools

On LST, when looking at fed clerk and biglaw numbers, is it appropriate to combine the two, or are some of the students at the firms also the ones with clerkships upon graduation? If I see 10% fed clerk and 10% big law, is it safe to say that 20% of the class got those outcomes, of is it possibly lower because of overlap among students getting both biglaw offer and fed clerk?

it's what they accept, not what they are offered.
so yes, 20% is the correct number

Not a stupid question, I was wondering that too as that extra 10% off the top greatly improves a middling t-14er like myself
