Considering a judicial clerkship?
The judicial clerk is typically a full-time assistant to the judge and usually performs a wide range of tasks, including legal research, drafting of memoranda and court opinions, proofreading, and cite checking. The experience judicial clerks gain makes them more confident as practicing lawyers and increases their marketability to future employers. Clerks are also exposed to many areas of the law, which can help them select future areas of interest.
