Does a SA at Susman Move the Needle for Clerkships
Susman's summer program is just 4 weeks with no return offer. Is it worth it in terms of strengthening a clerkship app? I thought the general idea was your 2L summer firm doesn't really move the needle.

It's going to be very judge dependent. For example, if your judge worked at Susman at some point, it'll be a nice boost and will probably come up during an interview. But if you landed a SA at Susman, that probably means you have strong grades, which ultimately is what matters the most to many judges.
