Any lawyers up in this bitch?

What should a 2022 law school grad do between these two options?

1. Clerk for judge, I believe these are 2-3 year jerbs and sponsored by your hiring firm

B. Go to work for your hiring firm

I guess the question is; are clerkships worth missing out on getting straight into with a firm?

Going from 1 to B ... it probably best if you just kill yourself before trying to explain how you and HH got through law school.

Clerking. Is a feather in your cap. If you’re going to be a litigator it’s actually relevant, especially fed district court.

I did an appellate clerkship and wound up being a Corp fin lawyer. Still I had a great experience, wrote some precedent, and it comes up at cocktail parties that I don’t attend.

It was a year. At 28 who cares? Your firm will
Wait for you. Mine did.

You can't swing a dead cat at HH without hitting three lawyers. We are lousy with them.

I probably missed a few in my tags. Still looking to get @weisers advice. 🤔

Shakespeare was the only one who got it right with regards to the lawyers.

You heard from the king up in this bitch. What I told you is gold. Any advice that departs is basically

It was one of Shakespeare's villains who wanted to do that. Lawyers are a real nuisance to tyrants.

Except when they prosecute based on political beliefs. Such as sentencing some FBI lackey to probation and community service for literally altering official documents.

That’s called fascism.

Actual lawyer:



I guess we do need them. I rest my case.

Agree that it's worth clerking, especially if you plan to litigate. If you clerk, make sure to negotiate for a bigger signing bonus when you join private practice. When I worked at MoFo, clerks also got seniority bumps (not sure about my current firm), so worth asking about that too. YMMV.

My firm told me that it was nice that I did it but since I wasn't going to be a litigator not to expect anything.
