SD Fla. Competetiveness
How competitive is it to secure a clerkship spot in the Southern District of Florida? And how does a clerkship there rank against district clerkships in ND./CD. Cal, EDVA, EDNY in terms of perception?

SD Fla is about the same as CD Cal. Same for EDVA. Probably not as prestigious as ND. Definitely not as prestigious as EDNY, which is on par with SDNYAnonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Oct 22, 2025 3:08 pmHow competitive is it to secure a clerkship spot in the Southern District of Florida?

SDNY/DDC
*slight gap*
ND Cal
*gap, difficult to weigh, varies on context*
EDNY/CD Cal/ND Ill/ED Va/SD Tex (maybe a few others)
*large gap*
Most other large metro areas like SD Fla, WD Wash, etc.
