I talked to @businessinsider to help demystify the clerkship application process a little bit! The process can be opaque and confusing, especially if you’re navigating it through Zoom Law School. Happy to chat with anyone who is considering applying or wants to know more! https://twitter.com/clrks4diversity/status/1359264903387750400
For any law students looking for more guidance, please follow @Clrks4Diversity and @AppellateProj. And keep an eye out for a panel we are having next week with @PeoplesParity to discuss applying to clerkships in a legal system that is less than perfect.
My colleague at @KekerLLP, Greg Washington, is quoted in this article and will also be on that panel offering more advice! And I’d be happy to provide more detail on what I said here about finding different ways to bring your full self to your clerkship application.
As @LeahLitman and I discussed in our piece in @NwULRev, law school/the clerkship application process can be homogenizing and first-gen and BIPOC law students can feel forced to fit the mold and mask their identities (or even opt out entirely). https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/nulr/vol115/iss2/5/
I’m looking forward to demystifying the process a bit more and talking openly about the pros and cons of clerking - both on a personal and professional level. Thanks to @yoonji_han for writing about this for @businessinsider and for the opportunity to share my thoughts.
