Law Clerk Jobs
A law clerk is a professional assisting judge in researching issues before the court and in writing opinions. They should be viewed differently then court clerks or courtroom deputies, working secretaries for the court. Law clerks have option of pursuing clerkships with the United States Supreme Court, the 13 United States courts of appeals, and certain United States district courts, specialty federal courts and state supreme courts. Law clerks are recent law school graduates usually at the top of their class and coming out of the most prestigious law schools. Working as a law clerk generally opens up career opportunities and usually earns an honor and a good addition to the resume. Entering into the profession is a task that is not easy, since the judges receive numerous applications for extremely limited positions in any given year. Various studies have shown clerks to be influential in the formation of case law through their influence on judges decisions. Clerks also gain an opportunity to serve with specialty judges for which reason they are preferred by the firms more as they have training in a highly complex and specialized area of the law. Extreme competition prevailing in the field, gives rise to a situation where the Judges get to select from the best and candidates too get the best clerkships.
