Have searched through just about every thread I could find on this, and cannot get a clear picture. So, for the purposes of a judicial clerkship application, do we put our upcoming SA position on our resume? And if so, how exactly do we do that (which section, and with what as a description)?

Put your firm, position as Summer Associate, and some variation of "upcoming Summer 201x".
You haven't done anything to describe it. Or leave it off and discuss in your cover letter instead

Don't put in cover letter tho. Nobody cares. Put one line in your resume. This isn't rocket science
"Summer associate, Dewey Cheatham LLP, New York City (summer 2016)"

just tack on "anticipated" or "expected" to the start date.
