Not that I know of. I think 50k for one and 70k for two is pretty standard outside of a few outliers (QE and boutiques like Susman).Anonymous User wrote:Is there any sort of updated list regarding clerkship bonuses currently being paid by the major firms?

No that I saw, but this was a while ago. Probably best to just shoot in your application whenever.JakeTappers wrote:foreversport wrote:Checking in on this, I know Eimer Stahl sent a letter to chambers also.
Did they give a timeline, by chance?
Yea, I did in October and they said it was "a couple months early" so I was just curious if it said when they would be reviewing. Appreciated!foreversport wrote:No that I saw, but this was a while ago.

Answer. No.Question. Is it too early to apply for a Nov. 2018 start date?
Zuckerman, yeah. They don't have a summer program and mostly hire clerks for entry-level positions. Seemed like a typical DC boutique - lots of former BigLaw and Feds.foreversport wrote:Anyone know anything about Zuckerman Spaeder (DC) or Reid Collins Tsai (Austin)?
Do you know anything about how much they pay / reputation and all that? Trying to figure out if its a good spot to apply post clerkship.Anonymous User wrote:WTO letter here as well. Glaring grammatical error on the first page.

I know Reid Collins does a decent amount of plaintiff-side lit (probably normal for a firm of their size). Although competent, they don’t really stand out like Kellogg, Molo, etc. Even looking at the bios, you kinda get the sense they’re unremarkable.foreversport wrote:Anyone know anything about Zuckerman Spaeder (DC) or Reid Collins Tsai (Austin)?
Same anon. Don't know about pay. Reputation is strong for white collar defense and good for lit. They have ties to some agencies (HHS/FDA and CFTC, I think). Their pitch was pretty typical for a boutique: lean staffing, early experience, partner mentorship, etc.foreversport wrote:Do you know anything about how much they pay / reputation and all that?

Not sure who to answer. ~Top25%/2013/MVP. Not elite by any means but had good experience at a v25. Want AUSA anyways and getting some bites but not cleaning up there either.Anonymous User wrote:Anonymous User wrote:grades/class year/school?Anonymous User wrote:Mid level (non-prestigious, non-flyover) district and non2/7/9 coa clerk here.

Obviously good credentials, but I think your "problem" might be that you'd be coming in as a ~6th year, which is pretty senior.
