Judicial Internship Links
As part of its "Working Lunch" Series, ACS maintains a list of resources to help 1L's apply for Judicial Internships.
For our last video on what Judicial Internships are and how 1L's can obtain them, click here.
Beth Wickwire from
the Office of Career Services
suggests that the following links may help you find an
internship:
- OCS Judicial Clerkship Page
- OCS Judges' Database, which includes references to current and former clerks (notes: disregard comments related to post graduate clerkships; also, you will need your keberos password for access)
- OCS List of Resources (to research judges)
- OCS Clerkship Handbook (a good description of various courts)
- List of Current and Past University of Michigan Clerks
- State Court List
- 2009 Vermont Law School Guide to State Court Clerkship Procedures (Note: for this, enter username: maple and password: syrup (case sensitive - and password changes from year to year, so see Beth if the password appears to have changed. This password is current as of September 2008). You can select the entire Guide or an individual state at a time.)
Tanya Koenig has provided an information sheet on how to perform a mail merge to simplify the application process.
