Clerkship App Chances

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Jan 15, 2016 12:58 pm

about top 15-20% at a t25; 2l; law review. What are my chances at a district court clerkship or a coa clerkship in a non-competitive circuit (especially interested in 10th since Colorado and Utah are nice haha)? Thank you!

I don't think there really is such a thing as a non-competitive circuit (or district)? You have a shot at district courts but will probably need to apply broadly. (Especially because many people think Colorado and Utah are nice.) As with any applicant, you have a much better shot if you can find some connection to the judges you apply to who can get your application looked at.

i would place your chances somewhere between 1:10 and 1:4 depending on your personality
