Email Etiquette in contacting a judge's chamber?

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Oct 21, 2015 12:00 am

I have several judge's chamber I want to email to see if they have clerkship positions still open.

1) Can I email them about this?
2) What's the proper etiquette?

Thank you always TLS.

"Hi, I am calling to ask if Judge X is still accepting clerkship applications?"

Is this good enough?
