Clerkship Chances?

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:00 pm

Just finished my 1L year at HLS. I have 2 DS's, 4 H's, and 4 P's (the P's include both LRW semesters, my BLL elective, and the international course).

What are my chances at a clerkship? I'd prefer something in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 11th Circuit, but I'm neither picky nor proud—I just want a clerkship.

Many thanks!

Why are you asking here instead of OCS?

You're competitive for clerkships in all those circuits, particularly for district court clerkships. COA will be tougher, but not out of the question. Keep your grades up as a 2L.

I'd say pretty solid shot for a COA in one of those circuits. Did you do the write-on? HLR will be a boost, but not necessary.
