What about doing a clerkship to switch to lit after doing a couple years of transactional work?

Yes, doing a clerkship would be a great way to switch from corporate to lit, assuming you aren't too senior (e.g., I wouldn't try this move as a fifth-year, you're going to be pretty much locked in to transactional by that point) and assuming you're willing to potentially take a class year hit post-clerkship.

I split this off from the original thread because clerking to go from corporate to lit is night-and-day different from what the other thread was discussing.
