Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

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. 🤔

    I will pass this sage advice along. TYFYS

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