Date: February 27th, 2015 12:18 AM Author: White Idiotic Point Personal Credit Line you can get a clerkship as a 5th year? i thought they were only available to 3L's. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2818563&forum_id=2#27398550) |
|
Date: February 27th, 2015 12:35 AM Author: Spectacular smoky multi-billionaire death wish Lots of judges won't even take first years any more. I don't think any SDNY judge does. Lots of NDCA and CDCA judges require prior experience. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2818563&forum_id=2#27398634) |

|
Date: February 27th, 2015 12:42 AM Author: Spectacular smoky multi-billionaire death wish The SDNY website has every judge's hiring guidelines. I think some are on oscar but specifically say they're not looking for first years. But yes, you just apply. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2818563&forum_id=2#27398668) |

Date: February 27th, 2015 12:20 AM Author: erotic dog poop really tough guy I'm taking one as a 4th and may take a CoA as a 5th. You're going to get a lot of conflicting reports here. If you can go back to the firm with bonus, it's likely a cant lose. If not, who knows? Going to be dependent on goals, clerkship, etc.
I'm hoping you're not. I never really thought about not doing it though, shit seems to work out. Also, fuck biglaw usually. |
|
Date: February 27th, 2015 12:34 AM Author: Spectacular smoky multi-billionaire death wish Probably can't get back in. It's a v30-50 firm but they don't really appreciate clerkships. I'd also be fucking them pretty bad--they just stealthed some dudes so I'm fucking slammed, and we have a bunch of briefing deadlines coming up.
I did a circuit clerkship as a first year. This is basically a year of chilling in one of the most 180 cities on earth |

Date: February 27th, 2015 12:38 AM Author: Arousing domesticated philosopher-king wagecucks what's one of the most 180 cites on earth that's still in this country? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2818563&forum_id=2#27398646) |
|
Date: February 27th, 2015 12:40 AM Author: Spectacular smoky multi-billionaire death wish Name the 10 most 180 cities in the US. From that list, tell me which you would consider to be among the most 180 on earth. I will tell you if the relevant city is on your list of 10, and maybe the second list if I don't think it outs me.

Date: February 27th, 2015 12:56 AM Author: erotic dog poop really tough guy To be this jacked about a city I assume it can't be something standard like NY/Chi/LA.
NOLA, Nashville, Vegas, San Fran, Hawaii, Virginia islands, fuck I don't know |
|
Date: February 27th, 2015 1:05 AM Author: Spectacular smoky multi-billionaire death wish It's none of them. Wild. Maybe the city that I think is heaven isn't the city everyone else thinks is heaven. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2818563&forum_id=2#27398730) |

Date: February 27th, 2015 12:58 AM Author: erotic dog poop really tough guy Yea - that's a different scenario than me. But I am at a somewhat similarly ranked firm that also doesn't really value clerks. Have to think some big fed or DOJ is out there. If not, maybe another biglaw firm and come in with some retarded seniority or a mid law/boutique that is all about clerks.

Re: your OP, tcr is to clerk in a district where you want to go AUSA or local boutique/midlaw where your new judge has connections. |
|
Date: February 27th, 2015 1:07 AM Author: Spectacular smoky multi-billionaire death wish That would be pretty bad ass. I think the judge has connections. It's a matter of whether those connections will pay off for me in the long run. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2818563&forum_id=2#27398737) |

|
Date: February 27th, 2015 1:09 AM Author: Spectacular smoky multi-billionaire death wish I agree that the significant pay cut would be worth it for the term of the clerkship.
