Does anyone have any insight on the possibilities of getting on with the JAG (Air Force, Navy, or Army) after I have completed my 1-year federal district court clerkship? Not sure if they care about a clerkship or if its even worth going through the application process since they are extremely selective to begin with.
Thanks.

You could apply but most if not all branches will treat you as an attorney (direct hire) rather than as a student applicant. This means there are less spots and it'll be harder to get in. Whether they will look favorably on it depends on who's on the board. Most likely they won't care since your clerkship experience won't really relate to the UCMJ or officer life.
