Several Fed. district and bankruptcy judges have posted "volunteer law clerk" positions on OSCAR. As the name suggests, these positions are unpaid, and most ask for a minimum 6 month commitment.

Assuming one can afford to work for 6 months after graduation (in NYC for example) without getting paid, what insights can anyone provide on these positions? Has anyone done anything like this, did it turn into full-time (Term Clerk), firm job offer, etc.?

I do not know of anyone personally but I think there was thread on here before regarding this issue. Personally, if I have no gig lined up, can afford to do it for 6 months without pay, and its a federal district court clerkship, I would do it in a heart beat!
