So I am in an interesting predicament. I told a law firm (boutique) that I was hoping to clerk for 2025 (before I worked there) and that I was only really looking to clerk for two particular judges. Fast forward six months, and through a federal district judge's recommendation, I finally got an interview with one of the judges . . . and I received an offer, but for 2026. The offer is still open.
I really want to accept this. But how do I disclosed this to my law firm? I am worried they may renege on their offer. I never could have imagined working at a firm like this, so I don't want to lose them at all.
Any advice?
