We would like to acknowledge and thank the state court administrators, clerks, and other personnel for continuing to provide the information necessary to compile this volume. Likewise, the assistance of career services offices in several jurisdictions is also very much appreciated. Lastly, thank you to Elijah Gleason in our office for gathering and updating the information in this year’s Guide. Quite simply, the 2021-2022 Guide exists because of their efforts, and we are very appreciative of their work on this project. We have made every effort to verify the information that is contained herein, but judges and courts can, and do, alter application deadlines and materials. As a result, if you have any questions about the information listed, please confirm it directly with the individual court involved. It is likely that additional changes will occur in the coming months, which we will monitor and update in the Guide accordingly. We believe The 2021-2022 Guide represents a necessary tool for both career services professionals and law students considering judicial clerkships. We hope that it will prove useful and encourage other efforts to share information of use to all of us in the law school career services community.

  • Judicial Council Scotland
    Response questionnaire project group Timeliness Judicial Council of Scotland 1. The Court System and Available Statistics 1.1 The court system in Scotland comprises a hierarchy of courts. At the top of the hierarchy is the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, which is located in London. It has an appellate jurisdiction from the Scottish courts in civil matters and, since the devolution arrangement which was introduced in 1999, in human rights issues in relation to criminal matters. Until devolution, there was no right of appeal in criminal matters to London. The senior courts in Scotland are the Court of Session (civil matters) and the High Court (criminal matters). Rather confusingly, as a result of practice before the Union of Scotland and England in 1707, they are known as the Supreme Courts of Scotland. Thus when we refer below to the Supreme Courts Programming Board, we are speaking of a Scottish rather than a UK body. The Court of Session and the High Court have both a first instance and an appellate jurisdiction. The High Court has exclusive jurisdiction to hear cases involving certain serious crimes and its judges have a sentencing power which is considerably greater than that conferred on sheriffs, who cannot impose a sentence of imprisonment which is more than for five years. At a local level there are sheriff courts, each of which has a defined geographical jurisdiction within Scotland. Sheriffs have jurisdiction in both civil and criminal matters. Almost all family cases are now heard in the sheriff court. Civil cases with a value of £5,000 or less must be heard in the sheriff court and cannot be raised in the Court of Session.

  • Bar Council News Update ‒ Monday 23 October 2017
    BAR COUNCIL NEWS UPDATE – MONDAY 23 OCTOBER 2017 Online justice Buzzfeed – Emily Dugan writes on Transform Justice’s report on the use of virtual technology in court, published today: [R]esearch by the charity Transform Justice, based on interviews and a survey of people across the legal world, has suggested the use of video seriously impacts on the chance of a fair hearing. The situation is particularly difficult for the rising number of defendants who cannot afford a lawyer to be in the courtroom for them. Chair of the Bar, Andrew Langdon QC, said: “Government plans to invest in virtual technology for court hearings hold the promise of savings and greater efficiency but we must recognise that they also pose a real threat to the quality of justice. “Barristers who appear regularly in courts or tribunals will tell you that many strictly procedural hearings could take place via conference calls or video link without any detriment to the quality of justice. But they will also tell you that the quality of justice can suffer and that outcomes can be different when we lose face-to-face contact between judges, witnesses, victims, clients and their lawyers. This is especially so when dealing with people who have mental health problems, intellectual disabilities or who are otherwise vulnerable.” Legal Aid New Law Journal – Sir Geoffrey Bindman QC writes on the Bach Commission report, ‘The Right to Justice’. He writes: The final report of the Bach Commission is an admirable blueprint for the restoration of our justice system. Lord Bach has stressed that the commission was made up of people selected for their expertise rather than any affiliation with the Labour Party .

  • Forms of Dress and Address in the Higher Courts and Some Practical Tips
    Forms of dress and address in the Higher Courts and some practical tips Court dress Court dress in the criminal courts is easily identifiable as there is specific guidance from the Lord Chief Justice in the form of the Criminal Procedure Directions General Application A: COURT DRESS. However that guidance is limited, to appearing without robes or wigs in the magistrates, and in the crown court wearing gowns and wigs. Wigs are wigs, and for junior advocates only come in one type, no matter which side of the advocate divide you fall on. The gown is always a Solicitors' gown. These basics should also be accompanied by a collar and bands (or collarette for female advocates) which are the same for both sexes and both professions. In the civil courts, there is even less guidance, the last formal guidance having been withdrawn. Discussions abound and as always guidance is said to be due to be released shortly. What dress is expected often varies dependent upon the judge, and you will learn from experience and advice from court clerks. In the Senior Courts (Higher Courts), the dress for civil cases is normally robed, however, there are many variations to this. For instance, urgent Queen's Bench Division (QBD) cases are normally argued un-robed, unless they are committal cases in which instance they are often robed. Many of the specialist courts also see advocates normally appearing unrobed. Unisex dress advice Suits must be black, navy blue or dark charcoal grey and same for shoes. Bands and collarettes should be starched. Hair should not poke out below the sides of your wig.

For Class of 2020 grads, applications will be released beginning June 17, 2019. For Class of 2021 grads, applications will be released beginning June 15, 2020. Applications for judicial clerkships with state court judges are due for some states during the 2nd year of law school, and for most states, during the fall of the 3rd year of law school. More positions are available with state court judges in your final semester as well.
