What is the general consensus for bonuses for clerkships with magistrate judges?
I assume not every firm treats this the same, but I'm interested in firms in Vault 80-100 range (Fox Rothschild, Davis Wright, Ballard, Cozen). Any information specific to these firms would be great, but info about other firms is helpful too!

Re: Clerkship Bonus for Magistrate
This varies from firm to firm and district to district. MJ responsibilities differ widely between districts, and resultingly, so do clerkships. As I understand it, the districts where MJs have the most responsibility are SDNY and NDCA (there are probably others, but these are two MJ clerkships that I know have value). An MJ in a flyover state is far less likely to garner a bonus as opposed to one in the aforementioned districts.
I also assume that there's a regional component to this, so that MJ clerkship might only get you a bonus at a firm in the same district as the MJ (as always, this is probably less true of SDNY).
Anecdotally, I know at least one person who is getting a standard clerkship bonus (commensurate with AIII) at their BL firm for an MJ clerkship in the same district (SDNY/NDCA).
