YLS clerkships

Post by Anonymous User » Sun Aug 31, 2025 2:49 pm

Is a NYC federal clerkship guaranteed for a YLS student? Do all who want SDNY/EDNY from Yale get? Are the odds better than Harvard or Stanford? Thanks.

I went to YLS and clerked on SDNY. It’s by no means guaranteed, and, in at least my chambers, we would have wanted to see pretty much all Hs on your transcript if you were applying on-plan after 2L.
