Getting the Most From Your Judicial Internship / Externship

Sponsored by the Judicial Division, Young Lawyers Division, and Law Student Division

Judge Frank J Bailey, Judge Heather A Welch, Judge Sandra Ruth Klein, Peter Michael Elliott, Caroline Granitur, and Alyssa Rogan

Judicial internships and externships are wonderful opportunities for law students. And if your career aspirations include becoming a law clerk or even a judge someday, a judicial internship can be a great step on that path too. In this program we will feature judges, former interns, and possibly current interns to talk about some of the following: (a) how to offer the best help to the judge; (b) the role of and working with law clerks (term and career); (c) ethical concerns for interns (e.g., confidentiality, writing samples, disclosure of your work, presentation on your resume); (d) using the internship as a pathway to a clerkship; (e ) how do law firms value your experience as a judicial intern; (f) writing best practices; (g) relationship with staff and court personnel.
