Do judicial assistant or secretary carry the same amount of prestige as law clerks? Assuming they all work for a us district court judge.

No. It's an administrative role that doesn't involve legal research and writing.

And they also don't have JDs.
Also you should probably consider something about a job other than its prestige.

Obviously not (come on, seriously?), but those are permanent positions with cushy federal benefits.

Well, thank god you didn't ask whether either position carried more prestige than a firm associate.
