If you applied for a clerkship and a judge called to set up an interview you go to the interview. The time to make this decision was back when you applied. That said, clerkships are neat. If I were hiring someone from out of state, then I would see one as a mark that this person has some ability to write and do legal research and did well in their class etc. if it's out of state there's less value because the former clerk doesn't have inside baseball knowledge of the workings of relevant courts or judges. Other relevant considerations are the quality of the state bench. I would respect someone who clerked for, e.g., the Colorado Supreme Court because I've heard that's a pretty solid court that has high standards. But other states are different. Regional knowledge matters way more for trial court clerkships. My friends who did federal district court clerkships have a really good handle on how each federal judge and magistrate in our district approaches certain types of motions. But they have no clue about, say, Montana. Appellate knowledge is different because most attorneys do rarely practice in front of appellate courts that nobody cares about individual judges' peculiarities. Plus you draft pleadings before knowing the panel. These are my rambly thoughts. Good luck deciphering them.

The only comment to the article is pure gold.  quote:My buddy Kyle, his dad was a judge, and we were playing touch football in the street when we were six or seven, maybe ten, and my other friend Mike was quarterback and he was like “Go deep, way deep” and Kyle ran for, I dunno, had to be seven or eight seconds, just forever,and I was covering him and by then we were like three houses down and Mike was a good quarterback but no seven- or ten-year old has an arm that good so all of a sudden Mike takes a loving knee, Kyle laughs and says “What the hell Mike” but then quickly says “I’m up 56-49 aren’t I” and the next second Kyle’s dad comes out and he’s like “Gettin dark boys, game’s over!”

The screwed up thing is that I never applied for this judge, I applied for a few state Supreme Court judges and I guess this court of appeals judge got my application from some sort of database. I'll probably still wind up taking the interview though, seems like a clerkship can never really count against you, just some are less valuable than others when it comes to "inside baseball" networking things.

Anyone else have clients that you send them an email with a document that has "[Firm] DRAFT" in the header and the email has three itemized questions for the client and the points of the document open for the answers of those questions are bracketed, highlighted and footnoted, then the client doesn't respond to the email, then next week you send them a heads up to check in, and the heads up sends them into a panic and they reply to all of your previous emails with "are these final versions?"? Or is it just me today?

I currently do it. It is fairly boring. Even if you do the procurement appeals side of things, where you do mini-trials. Large parts of your time are spent emailing poo poo back and forth, asking some agency to supply more information, at which, invariably, they fail. But you do get decent experience, which if you're interested in eventually going private, is worth a lot, since procurement appeals are usually done by big companies looking to spend a poo poo ton of money abusing whatever inefficient process your state has. Still better than billable hours though.

Talk to me when you wake up and see the clock every hour throughout the night for months on end. Sometimes it really doesn't matter how much you should be able to sleep. You just don't sleep, and it can go a very, very long time. P.S. Sincere kudos on the "one (1)." A thing of beauty.

I'm bad at predictit to my friends I'm known as super great at guessing this stuff since I called the Sarah Palin vp choice really early but looks like past performance doesn't guarantee future results mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Dec 3, 2016 |

I was saying Nevada made the ultimate firewall and it was impossible for her to lose unless Trump found a few million missing white voters specifically in the Midwest for six months, then forgot the unless part of the equation because what could possibly go wrong on the bright side now we're probably never going to see a cross-party appointment as head of an important state agency ever again

So I think I've hit that point where I'm getting pushed out of big law, after finishing my 3rd year (corporate). It pretty much blindsided me - the past year has been the best I've had, but the main partner I work for has been pretty weird to me the last few weeks, culminating in a lovely review and not moving ahead in class year/salary. I'm not fired, but it sounds like that's a year away. Basically I was hired to replace an 8th year associate and, big surprise, I can't, so I'm of not much use/too far behind. I wasn't planning on staying at a law firm forever and I knew this would happen eventually; I was just hoping to wait another year before I moved somewhere else. So where do I go from here? I'm not knowledgeable enough or non-goony enough to start my own place and get my own clients. I think in-house is the way to go, but where I am (Orange County, CA) there just aren't a ton of opportunities that come up. And per this thread's frequent advice, I've looked for federal/state government jobs but yet to see a legal position in my area. Further evidence for the OP of this thread: I did everything right - went to a good school after they gave me money, got into biglaw doing what I "wanted" to do - but at the end of the day, this profession will make you hit your limits and then spit you out on the street.

If you have to stay in your area and can't find a law job, go teach high school or something and contribute to society. You'll need at most a year of training classes that you can find plenty of money to pay for in the form of grants/scholarships, and then you can go teach high school civics or something. edit: Quick googling shows that you could get a job in california teaching school while they pay you to get your teaching certification. So, there's always that as an option. You could go get your Michelle Pfeiffer on in some inner-city LA school. Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Dec 4, 2016 |
