Clerkship with experience
Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2018 11:14 am
I'm in v5 lit with 2 years of experience. I like biglaw and I would be happy staying here for a few years.
I want to apply for a clerkship for the experience and resume boost. My grades would not have been good enough for SDNY/2/9/DC out of law school, and I don't think I'm far enough out of law school for my firm experience to really carry weight.
Is it worth it to apply to A3 clerkships in secondary markets, or can I be SDNY or bust? I would be disappointed if I didn't get any clerkship at all, and the thought of clerking as a 5th or 6th year is unappealing.
