Penn clerkship tips and recommenders

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Dec 26, 2023 4:38 pm

Hi. I'm a Penn 2L and would like to clerk and apply this cycle to do so, preferably in New York or DC. Are there any Penn 3Ls or grads who have any tips for this including what professors I should ask to write letters? Also will being on Law Review board or being a Littleton Fellow help? How about doing Keedy?

Don’t do Littleton. It's an ungraded 7(?) credits. Need to get A’s if you want honors, which will help if you strike out this year.

Keedy is a lot less work than being on Law Review board or being a Littleton Fellow.

Also worth mentioning politics, if clearly on either side
