[quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the PP that said you need a federal clerkship to get into biglaw. While clerking at DC Superior Court I had interviews at half a dozen biglaw firms. Sure, most interviews weren't at the top tier firms, but they were still generally considered biglaw and paid a biglaw salary (or very close to it). And, while as one PP notes, it is late to apply for federal clerkships, DC Superior Court judges (and perhaps other state court judges) often interview later. OP, since you suggest in your prior post that you went to a top school and have journal experience, I would try sending in applications right now for a clerkship -- just call up each chambers and ask if the judge is still interviewing for law clerks. Hours tend to be decent, it is great experience, and you can try your hand at biglaw next year. And, if biglaw doesn't work, you will at least have some experience under your belt to try elsewhere.[/quote]
