[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on what kind of firm.

Biglaw (which this clearly isn't given the salary) you don't negotiate unless maybe you have a year or two of clerkship and you want to move up a year, get a clerkship bonus, etc. It's lockstep. It's set.

What is your law school ranked roughly? What is your GPA? Are you on law review?[/quote]

My law school is T40, I don't have clerkship experience but I am looking to work for a year or two and then do a clerkship, GPA is decent, I do have law review experience.

The lockstep makes sense. Thank you. [/quote]

You do know that a federal clerkship out of a law firm is extremely unlikely,no?  And, no, you usually don’t negotiate these things with middle and large lock-step firms. Everyone is paid the same for the obvious reason.[/quote]

OP here, I've already done two judicial internships, one at the US District court level and one with the 9th Circuit. My judges have written me high praises recommendation letter for me. I'm on OSCAR now and there are a few judges already hiring for 2026. [/quote]
