How to Succeed in Your Clerking Job How to Succeed in Your Clerking Job Law Clerk (defined): A student of law working under the supervision of a lawyer or judge in order to learn law or gain experience. Law clerk positions are an excellent way for students to find out about different practice areas or different types of employers. As a law clerk, you want a meaningful work experience and to learn what it’s like to be a lawyer. On the flip side, employers want hardworking clerks who will do excellent, timely work on behalf of their clients. What do you need to do to succeed as a law clerk? What Employers Look For In Law Clerks: • Excellent work product, whether it is in writing, dealing with clients or oral advocacy in court. • Good judgment, which covers a myriad of issues. Dress appropriately. Treat other attorneys, staff and clients with respect. Exercise common sense! • Enthusiasm for the projects assigned and for the employer. Not every work assignment will be exciting or fun but remember, attorneys want to hire people that want to work for them. • Flexibility, in dealing with different work styles, personalities and assignments. • Appreciation of the employer and the opportunity you were given to work for them. • The ability to “fit in” and get along with others, both attorneys and staff. • An understanding of the organization and its goals. • Realistic expectations of the work and what you can expect from your clerking experience. Things To Do Before You Begin Your Clerkship: • Think about what you want to learn from your clerkship this summer. Considering making a list. Making a list will help you to identify different types of experiences you want and will help you to help your employer. These could include different topical issues, different types of assignments or different types of research. Many employers will try to give you work assignments accordingly. • Say “yes” to the experience during your time as a law clerk. If the employer invites you to shadow, tag along, sit-in or participate in other aspects of the office’s work (substantive or administrative) take the opportunity whenever possible, regardless of your level of interest in the specifics. • If you know another student who previously worked for the office, talk with them about their experience. Seek insight about the day-to-day of the employer and how you can be successful in your clerkship. • Get the administrative details straight. Call the office manager/ coordinator and make sure you know the following before your first day of work: • Clarify your start date and the time you should arrive at work. • Make sure you know how to get to the office and where you should park. • If in doubt, ask about the dress code. DIGITAL LETTER • Ask what you should bring on your first day (Social Security card, etc.) You will probably need to fill out some paperwork. • Your salary or hourly rate and how you will get paid (weekly? monthly?). • Bring a pen and legal pad with you on your first day. You will want to be able to take notes. • When changing jobs, make sure you have alerted your new employer to any potential conflicts of interest. • On your first day, INTRODUCE YOURSELF around to everyone - attorneys and staff. Depending on the size of the office it may be important to work with as many people as possible. • Get yourself and your space ORGANIZED - make sure you have the basic office supplies. Set up a filing system that will work for you. Getting Started: • If you will be working for more than one attorney, clarify how you will be given your assignments. Consider using a version of the Project Assignment Checklist (attached) when taking notes or receiving an assignment from an attorney. • Know the rules of the office. How should you record and report your time on cases? What are the rules on reimbursement for expenses and where do you turn in your receipts? Where are client files kept (centrally or in individual attorney offices)? Are you expected to do your own word processing or to utilize the attorney’s staff? • When you get your first assignment, consider using the Project Assignment Checklist as a guideline for understanding the project. If you have any doubt about what you need to be doing, repeat the information back to the attorney and clarify as needed. Make sure you know the deadline, an estimate of how much time they expect you to spend on this, and what product they expect to receive from you. • Never assume it is ok to do all your RESEARCH on-line - it's expensive and generally you will need to start with books and (maybe) end with on-line research. Think through the project and plan a research strategy. • Know your "audience" - recognize that different attorneys may have different work styles and expectations; ask for an example of memos the attorney thinks are well drafted - this will give you a clue as to the style, approach and formality the attorney prefers. • A common complaint by students is lack of feedback. Remember, attorneys are busy people – that’s why they hired a law clerk! To make sure you’re on the right track, after your first couple of assignments, if you don’t receive any feedback, check in with the assigning attorney. Tell them that, because this is your first clerkship (or because you’re new to the office) you would like some feedback on the assignment you did for them. Was it done to their satisfaction? Are there any areas that need improvement in future assignments? • Take advantage of other professional opportunities. Are the attorneys in your office willing to let you tag along to a deposition or hearing? Can you sit in on a client interview for a case you’ve been doing research on? How about opportunities outside the office - if an attorney you work with is attending (or better yet speaking at) a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminar, ask if you can attend. If the attorneys are active in Bar activities, ask if you can attend an event or meeting with them. Wrapping Up: • References. Who will you ask to serve as a reference? Does the office have a policy about giving references? Choose a reference who can speak knowledgeably about your work product as well as your personality and work habits. Choose someone who will say nice things about your work, and will do so enthusiastically. When asking someone to be a reference for you, begin by sharing how much you have enjoyed working for the reference and for this employer. Ask if you may list them as one of your references for a future job search. Project Assignment Checklist* Date: Project: Final Due Date: Interim Deadlines: Format/Output Requested: Assigning Attorney: Phone: Email: Others working on the project: Client/File Name: Billing Code: Adverse Parties/Other Potential Parties: Questions to ask assigning attorney: 1. How will this information/document be used? Who is the audience? 2. In what format do you want the information (memo/draft pleading; hard copy/email)? Do you have a good sample that you can show me of what you want the final product to look like? 3. Where is the client file located? Is there any existing research or preliminary information I should consult before starting this project? Do you have any suggested primary/secondary research tools I should start with? 4. Do you have an estimate for how much time I should spend on this project? Is there a point at which I should plan to check back with you? (After initial research, after x number of hours). 5. What is the deadline for this project? .

  • In Chambers: Effective Writing Tips for the Judicial Interns and Law Clerks
    IN CHAMBERS: EFFECTIVE WRITING TIPS FOR THE JUDICIAL INTERNS AND LAW CLERKS © 2017 The Writing Center at GULC. All Rights Reserved.1 Working for and with a judge can be an exciting but intimidating challenge. In many respects, law school is great preparation, and many of the skills you have learned will be invaluable. However, many challenges you will face in chambers can seem quite foreign at first, and there is surprisingly little guidance out there on how to address them. This handout is intended to fill some of those gaps. A lot of the guidance contained in this handout will, like so many things in law, vary depending on facts and circumstances. For example, this handout is intended to be useful both for full-time clerks as well as summer interns and school-term externs. Of course, the roles of each of these positions differs in some respect, so keep that in mind as you read. In addition, as is elaborated further later on, every judge is different. No matter what, respect his or her wishes at all times and never take anything contained herein or elsewhere as advice to the contrary. This handout assumes you have received an assignment from your supervisor in chambers and that you are having a hard time with next steps. The goal is not so much to tell you how to write it (there is simply too much variation out there for that), but, instead, to provide some guidance as to what types of questions you can ask and what next steps might look like.

Rutledge LAURA KRUGMAN RAY Justice John Paul Stevens, now starting his thirty-third full term on the Supreme Court, served as law clerk to Justice Wiley B. Rutledge during the Court’s 1947 Term. That experience has informed both elements of Stevens’s jurisprudence and aspects of his approach to his institutional role. Like Rutledge, Stevens has written powerful opinions on issues of individual rights, the Establishment Clause, and the reach of executive power in wartime. Stevens has also, like Rutledge, been a frequent author of dissents and concurrences, choosing to express his divergences from the majority rather than to vote in silence. Within his chambers, Stevens has in many ways adopted his own clerkship experience in preference to current models. Unlike the practices of most of his colleagues, Stevens hires fewer clerks, writes his own first drafts, and shares certiorari decisionmaking with his clerks.

  • Lessons Learned from Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
    LESSONS LEARNED FROM JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG Amanda L. Tyler* INTRODUCTION Serving as a law clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the Supreme Court’s October Term 1999 was one of the single greatest privileges and honors of my life. As a trailblazer who opened up opportunities for women, she was a personal hero. How many people get to say that they worked for their hero? Justice Ginsburg was defined by her brilliance, her dedication to public service, her resilience, and her unwavering devotion to taking up the Founders’ calling, set out in the Preamble to our Constitution, to make ours a “more perfect Union.”1 She was a profoundly dedicated public servant in no small measure because she appreciated just how important her role was in ensuring that our Constitution belongs to everyone. Whether as an advocate or a Justice, she tirelessly fought to dismantle discrimination and more generally to open opportunities for every person to live up to their full human potential. Without question, she left this world a better place than she found it, and we are all the beneficiaries. As an advocate, Ruth Bader Ginsburg challenged our society to liber- ate all persons from the gender-based stereotypes that held them back. As a federal judge for forty years—twenty-seven of them on the Supreme Court—she continued and expanded upon that work, even when it meant in dissent calling out her colleagues for improperly walking back earlier gains or halting future progress.2 In total, she wrote over 700 opinions on the D.C.

[29], is granted. I. Introduction Plaintiff Allenn Peterson is an inmate in the New Castle Correctional Facility (“New Castle”) in Indiana. In 2015, he had been employed as an offender law clerk in the facility’s law library when he and all of the other offender law clerks lost their jobs following a prison administration inquiry into a perceived security threat. A law library computer server had been reconfigured to allow internet access, something prohibited by prison policy. Authorities conducted an investigation to identify who had reconfigured the server, but they were unable to determine which of the offender law clerks might have done so. Unable to identify the culprit, all fifteen to twenty-five offender law clerks lost their jobs. None were disciplined or otherwise sanctioned. Mr. Peterson believes that his job dismissal was actually a retaliatory move to punish him for bringing previous lawsuits against defendants. He filed this action asserting a violation of his First Amendment free speech rights. Case 1:16-cv-01280-TWP-MJD Document 38 Filed 03/19/18 Page 2 of 6 PageID #: <pageID> II.

A TRUTH ABOUT CAREER LAW CLERKS JOSEPH D. KEARNEY* I want to begin by thanking my colleague, Chad Oldfather, and also Todd Peppers, for organizing this conference. It is an impressive feat, and I would be grateful, as dean, even if it did not present me an opportunity to unburden myself of a point that has been bothering me for some time. Let me begin that unburdening with an apology of sorts—or a refusal to give one, depending on how you look at it. It is best presented, perhaps, in a brief story. A number of years ago, one of my friends, a nationally acclaimed law professor, asked me, “If you were a Supreme Court Justice, how would you select your law clerks?” My response was that, whatever else might be the case, I would not hand the matter over, even for screening purposes, to some panel of former clerks, professors, or judges.

  • Judicial Genealogy (And Mythology) of John Roberts: Clerkships from Gray to Brandeis to Friendly to Roberts
    The Judicial Genealogy (and Mythology) of John Roberts: Clerkships from Gray to Brandeis to Friendly to Roberts BRAD SNYDER* During his Supreme Court nomination hearings, John Roberts idealized and mythologized the first judge he clerkedfor, Second Circuit Judge Henry Friendly, as the sophisticated judge-as-umpire. Thus far on the Court, Roberts has found it difficult to live up to his Friendly ideal, particularlyin several high-profile cases. This Article addresses the influence of Friendly on Roberts and judges on law clerks by examining the roots of Roberts's distinguishedyet unrecognized lineage of former clerks: Louis Brandeis 's clerkship with Horace Gray, Friendly's clerkship with Brandeis, and Roberts's clerkships with Friendly and Rehnquist. Labeling this lineage a judicial genealogy, this Article reorients clerkship scholarship away from clerks' influences on judges to judges' influences on clerks. It also shows how Brandeis, Friendly, and Roberts were influenced by their clerkship experiences and how they idealized their judges. By laying the clerkship experiences and career paths of Brandeis, Friendly, and Roberts side-by- side in detailed primary source accounts, this Article argues that judicial influence on clerks is more professional than ideological and that the idealization ofjudges and emergence of clerks hips as must-have credentials contribute to a culture ofjudicial supremacy. * Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin Law School.

  • The Supreme Court Opinion As Institutional Practice: Dissent, Legal Scholarship, and Decisionmaking in the Taft Court
    The Supreme Court Opinion as Institutional Practice: Dissent, Legal Scholarship, and Decisionmaking in the Taft Court Robert Postt In 1921, when William Howard Taft became Chief Justice, the Supreme Court did not occupy the serene and imposing marble building that has since become its contemporary icon.1 Its courtroom was instead located in the old Senate Chamber, whose intimate, elegant surroundings echoed with the debates of Webster, Clay, and Calhoun.2 Its administrative staff and offices were scattered haphazardly and inefficiently throughout the Capitol.3 It was Taft who, with great skill and patience, t I am very grateful for the advice and insight of friends and colleagues.

  • Senator FEINSTEIN. I Was Addressing My Comments to You. You Have Two
    404 Senator FEINSTEIN. I was addressing my comments to you. You have two of California's finest representatives, I think, from two of the greatest universities in the world. And my observation would be, after sitting through these hearings, Dean Kay and Professor Gunther, that if Mrs. Ginsburg were of another religion, she might even be canonized at the end of this. The CHAIRMAN. I imagine we will work that out before it is over. [Laughter.] I thank you both, and thank you for taking the time to make the trip. We appreciate it. The CHAIRMAN. We are going to move out of order here a little bit because the next panel was under the impression, understand- ably, that we were going to break for lunch. But it is not my inten- tion to break for lunch, and they are presently in the cafeteria on their way back. But our fifth panel is a panel comprised of a former law clerk, former client, and former ACLU colleague of Judge Gins- burg. Edith Roberts was a law clerk to Judge Ginsburg from 1989 to 1990, and she is presently a staff attorney at the Environmental Law Institute. I understand Stephen Wiesenfeld is the litigant Judge Ginsburg represented in the landmark gender discrimination case, and he is not here. We will add him to the sixth panel. Kathleen Peratis was a colleague of Judge Ginsburg while she was head of the American Civil Liberties Union, Women's Rights Project, during the 1970's. Today she is a lawyer in private practice in New York City.
