Clerkship at the U.S. Court of International Trade
Any former clerks of the USCIT (or others) have any insight into the daily life of a USCIT clerk? I understand that the legal and procedural issues are quite specialized. But are there any differences between a USCIT clerkship and a district court clerkship aside from the substance of the research? Also, are these clerkships viewed positively if I am interested in international law/international arbitration/international trade law?

I interned for a judge on the court.
As far as I understand, CIT dockets are not very busy compared to other fed district courts, and clerks mostly had jobs lined up (either by prior SAs or through applying while clerking). The clerks also received solicitation materials from top firms.
Interestingly, most clerks seem to be going into international arbitration, and not trade law.
