State Supreme Court Clerkship or Bankruptcy Clerkship

Hi all,

I have interviews lined up with a Justice on my state supreme court (think MI, IL, PA, OH size) and a federal bankruptcy judge. Obviously, I will be happy with either, but is one better than the other for next jobs? I am open to private practice, but ideally would do BigFed like SEC, DOJ, etc. Thanks

Do you want to work in the state where you have the state supreme court interview?

You said your eventual goal is BigFed - do you want to stop through Biglaw first after the clerkship ends?
