Another clerkship chances thread

Post by Anonymous User » Sun Mar 13, 2016 11:59 am

Hi all,

Wondering what's available for top 1-2% CCN without LR or publication. Wondering if no LR screwed me. Ideally looking for SDNY/EDNY and then COA (doesn't need to be in 2/9/DC, though that would be nice). I've gotten pretty poor advice re: clerkship targets so I'm curious what you all think.

Thanks in advance!

of course, this is just one data point, but i'm in substantially similar shoes and have feeder COA and SDNY/DDC lined up for the two years after graduation. your numbers put you in the running, but you need profs willing to make calls and need to leverage the assistance of your clerkship office/alumni clerks.

You are still a very, very strong candidate--especially if you're a legal writing TA or have demonstrated good writing ability other ways (A/A+ in legal writing, if graded).

You are also very late to the SDNY/EDNY party for both 17-18 and 18-19. Good luck! You'll nail something with the right application materials + phone calls
