volunter position

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Oct 30, 2015 8:56 pm

Chief magistrate federal or SSC. Magistrate offer already extended but I would have to turn down just to have a chance to interview at SSC. Is it fucked-up etiquette to take and reject later if I got the SSC?

To clarify, the deadline for me to accept the offer is very short and I have to answer before I can even interview for the SSC position.

I'd accept an internship with a Chief Magistrate for a federal court above a SSC Justice internship even if I had both offers in hand.

If you absolutely know you definitely will practice in that state, my view would change; but, if there is a chance that you would practice in another state, then the federal experience will be transferable with respect to the content of your work while the SSC experience will only transfer with respect to some writing skills.

Trial level federal court will give you tons of opportunity for substantive work. Not so much for SSC because the work is more cookie-cutter (most likely reading and denying petitions for cert).
