Hi all,
When do you start applying for post-clerkship positions if your clerkship ends at an abnormal time (like October 2021-2022, January 2021-2022, March 2021-2022, or May 2021-2022)?
Do you wait six months out and start applying? Everything on here appears to relate to a post-clerkship hiring timeline for clerkships that started in August/September.

Re: When to start applying for post-clerkship position?
With how post-clerkship hiring is going this year, and with firms' extreme focus on filling transactional/corporate jobs, I would recommend searching immediately after your start (assuming your judge allows that).Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 10:52 amHi all,

Interested, but don’t understand this.

Re: When to start applying for post-clerkship position?
I'm also curious. I've seen everything from "apply right after you start" to "no earlier than March." Some firms state when clerks should apply on their NALP pages, but I'm not sure how much that really reflects hiring approaches...Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 10:52 amHi all,
