Career Services
A Judicial Clerkship is a postgraduate position that provides direct insight into the judicial process and is a valuable and enriching experience. A Law Clerk gains practical experience by attending judicial proceedings, performing legal research, and providing other assistance to the judge. Law Clerks also are exposed to the methods and customs of practitioners, and learn the level of professional behavior expected of lawyers. Many former Law Clerks find that the prestige and experience associated with service in chambers and courts broadens their future employment opportunities.
If you are interested in applying to Judicial Clerkships, please schedule an appointment with Alison Shinsato, Assistant Director of Career Services & Judicial Clerkships by calling (530) 752-6574.
