Each summer clerk has a designated mentoring attorney who assists and supports the clerk consistently throughout the summer.

The program also provides opportunities for law clerks to meet with a variety of speakers from the federal legal system. In past years, speakers have included federal judges, public defenders, law enforcement agents, United States Marshals, and probation officers. We also host sessions with AUSAs regarding career paths, judicial clerkships, and interview skills. We regularly include opportunities to meet with and learn from our federal partners. Some examples of past opportunities include:

  • A visit with military Judge Advocates (JAG Corps) and tour of military facilities.
