Interviewed for a clerkship 2.5 months ago. Sent thank you, had a prof call. No word yet. Anything I can do to keep myself mentally present in the judge's decision making process?

Sorry to break it to you, but I don't think you're getting the job. I've clerked for 2 different judges and helped interview replacements, and both of them hired someone within days of interviewing (I was also hired a day after one, on the spot with another). This is the same for just about everyone I know who's clerked.

Call and follow up. While the above post is most likely correct (that if you didnt get an offer in the first few days, you didn't get the clerkship), I've interviewed with a judge who had a family emergency abroad right after my interview and had to post-pone the process for a couple months.

FWIW, I received an offer 3 weeks after interviewing.

That said, over two months is a long time.
