You Better Clerk: Is a Judicial Clerkship Right for You?




LeGaL LGBT Podcast show

Summary: We call this episode. “You Better Clerk” That’s because as many folks are heading into, or back to law school, they may be wondering if a judicial clerkship is in their future.   Besides looking good on a resume, a judicial clerkship can be a transformative learning experience. It can also be a permanent career. On this episode I am going to speak with a law student who spent the summer clerking for 8 different openly gay and lesbian judges at all levels of the judiciary in New York. I’ll also speak with someone who made clerking a career… or at least on her path towards being a judge one day herself. Finally I will also speak with a recent law graduate who is now in Big Law after speding 2 years clerking for the first openly gay judge on New York’s highest court
