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.BennyBeaver said:@creepycoug @HHusky @kjstoph @weiser

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.

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

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

That’s called fascism. -

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.BennyBeaver said:@creepycoug @HHusky @kjstoph @weiser

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.Sources said:
