[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI — if niece is referring to appellate clerkships then I’d agree they can be boring/too much research. But I can’t recommend enough doing a federal district court clerkship. It’s almost never boring and you’ll learn *so much* about how to be a lawyer (and how judges operate) that they never teach you in law school. Law school is all about “prestige” (sort of like DCUM that way) so there is a lot more focus on appellate clerkships because they are considered more prestigious even though I’d say they are much less interesting and not as helpful as training. Of course appellate clerkships are helpful as training if you want to be an appellate lawyer, but that’s not many people and even if that’s the case I would still probably recommend doing a district court clerkship first and then an appellate. — former law clerk on district court and court of appeals [/quote] Yep. I loved my district court clerkship. I was a strong candidate for an appeals clerkship but I chose to focus on district court. (Of course the true stars often like up district than appeals.)[/quote]
