Interning for 3rd Federal Judge or Elsewhere???
Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2014 12:37 pm
I am a rising 3L and I am interested in clerking. I have previously interned for judges in two different districts (one where my school is located and one in my hometown) commercial litigation. My grades are mediocre at a Top 40 law school, but I have been fortunate enough to have landed 2 clerkship interviews, unfortunately I received 0 offers.
I plan to intern/extern in the fall and spring, but was curious whether interning for a 3rd federal judge would improve my chances of landing a clerkship? Or should I look elsewhere, i.e. a small firm, the Gov't, research assistant, etc?
