Check out the poo poo you have to go through for an unpaid, uncredited internship with the 36th Circuit in Detroit The site requires a resume, cover letter, writing sample (3-5 pages MAXIMUM), and 3 references (a list of references containing name, title, employer name, address, phone number and e-mail address if you have it). Additionally, the court requires an OFFICIAL transcript. This means you will need to request it from the Registrar's office, pay for it, and have it sent directly to the site. The address is provided below. The Court's interview process is as follows: Upon receipt of materials, you will meet with XXXXXX the Court Administrator. She will then send you to HR to be fingerprinted and drug tested. That process takes about 2 weeks. Assuming you meet those requirements, you will interview with a judge. Attire: Other than single earrings in each ear, no body piercings may be visible. ALL tattoos must be covered. They have a specific summer dress code which she did not provide but said women who wear skirts above the knee must wear nylons. Pre-interview fingerprinting and drug testing? Restrictive summer dress code? Sign me up!

I did some math (multiplying % of article III clerkships by number of students in the class) and the USNWR clerkship numbers suggest that there are approx. 1457 Article III clerkships available in a year. Does that sound correct to anyone edit: "There are currently 875 authorized Article III judgeships." So about 2 clerks per judge? Linguica fucked around with this message at 16:51 on May 7, 2010 |

Linguica posted:edit: "There are currently 875 authorized Article III judgeships." So about 2 clerks per judge? Using the USNWR numbers with the average class size as found on W&M's website, about 8 students per year go from W&M to an Article III clerkship. Can I be one of those lucky few? No. Will I build up a secret hope throughout my LS career that I can achieve this coveted and nearly-impossible dream, only to have it all come crashing down in a cacophony of binge drinking and bitter jobless tears? Oh, yes. I do believe so. e: IrritationX posted:That might even be a little conservative. The Article III judges here in Denver all have two, and three isn't unheard of.

All of this info seems geared towards those looking to practice law in the States. Is it safe to assume the situation is basically the same in Canada? I've been told that the "glut" of lawyers in the market isn't nearly as severe up here as it is in the US, but I don't know if that's true or not.

Mookie probably knows a lot more re: number of clerks per judge, but I believe COA judges get 4 clerks, district court judges get 3 positions they can fill, though usually they will have 2 clerks and 1 office secretary doing administrative poo poo.

Little update from the last thread: 3.75/180 with three science majors, and I am officially... waitlisted at Harvard! Yay! I didn't really want to go very badly, anyway. I guess it's back to having panic attacks and figuring out what to do with my life!

I guess it's back to having panic attacks and figuring out what to do with my life! That sucks. In retrospect, I wish I had tried to become a math teacher instead of an attorney. If you have no idea what to do with your life and want to do something constructive, maybe try teaching high school science? Or just wait and reapply. I wouldn't be shocked if you could pull off a full ride at a T14.

Defleshed posted:How did you like the class? I wish we'd had one at Loyola. I ended up just doing a lot of papers on military aspects of whatever law we were studying in my electives. It has been my favorite class in law school. Although next semester I'm taking National Security which will be co-taught by the professor I had Military Justice with (retired 1 star) and the DJAG of the AF, who is retiring in June. Will be just as awesome or more awesome.

Federal, but still. The e-mail is catchy with a "Judge XX - Job" title, and only opening it up reveals it is a babbysitting job. With the combination of lower than normal employment figures + desire to network, she could easily get swamped with highly-qualified applicants.

I would do it and I would kiss that judge's rear end, I mean like baking cookies and cleaning the bathroom and poo poo. I would study the books she has in the house and read them so I could have conversations with her about them, subliminating all of my own opinions and agreeing with everything she said like a pathetic toady

Also hardly talked about N&P other than the whole "this is what lets Congress do things vs. it's basically redundant" thing. Still that's pretty awesome that a lot of your class fell into one of the most common exam pitfalls, not answering the question asked.

CmdrSmirnoff posted:Finding solid Canadian employment numbers is basically impossible. The best you'll usually find are surveys run by each school's CSO, but even then you'll get like a 40% no-reply rate. This is a bit horrifying. I'm applying for articles this summer. I heard that most firms haven't changed their hiring for articles yet but do you think the smaller and mid-size firms will cut back? Not getting a 2L OCI is a bitch. It pretty much locks you out of the big boys on Bay Street. Any tips you have on articles in Toronto would be helpful! Actually, one more thing: if they want a writing sample, what would you send? a part of a factum or part of a "research paper"? The factum was from an option moot in 2L, I also have samples from research papers for two paper courses... soj89 fucked around with this message at 22:52 on May 7, 2010 |
