Great New Judicial Clerkship Website!

"Judicial judgment must take deep account of the day before yesterday in order that yesterday may not paralyze today.” ~Felix Frankfurter
Judicial Clerkships are among the most sought-after jobs for law graduates, but despite recent advances by judges in coordinating their timing for applications, the process can still be incredibly difficult to manage. Judges are not bound by any of the timing guidelines, and many hire on their own schedules.

Enter a brand new site! http://www.soyouwanttobealawclerk.com/. The author promises to update clerkship vacancies, and to identify whether the judge is a "Hiring Plan" judge or a "Non-Hiring Plan" judge. If he or she is to be believed, this will promise to be a fantastic and much-needed resource for applicants. Used in conjunction with the online OSCAR system, it is a great way to make sure you are in the know! For more resources, a recording of the CSO Judicial Clerkship Panel in April, and a link to the Judicial Clerkship Application tips handout, see the previous post called All Rise for Judicial Clerkships!
