Hey everyone,
I'm looking for more detailed information on the nature of NSD's participation in DOJ Honors. Do they only have 1 spot each year (I've heard this before, though the website says 3-5 slots per year)? And is a clerkship required (or soft required)?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Re: DOJ Honors - Info on NSD?
Participation in honors programs is entirely voluntary and how many hires a component makes, or whether they even participate at all, varies a lot by the year, depending on the administration and funding and so on. (Plus there isn’t a hugely meaningful difference in your chances between 1 slot and 3-5, so not sure it really matters.)
Anecdotally, I think a clerkship is a significant bonus and extremely common.
But also, Trump just rescinded all the Honors offers for this fall, so I wouldn’t be confident about what happens in the next couple of years.
