[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although hard to believe, some lawyers who engaged in double federal clerkships (one in federal District Court followed by a clerkship at the appellate level in a federal Circuit Court) are having difficulty finding a desired job as a private sector attorney in Biglaw because litigation is not as profitable as are Biglaw firms' transactional practices.[/quote]

Lol.

This is utter nonsense; no one with a double fed clerkship is "having difficulty finding a desired job ... in Biglaw." Stop spouting this BS. [/quote]

+1.  I double. clerked. I made a fortune [b]and now am happily retired.[/b] Double clerking is how you get on SCOTUS. and that's how you get the SCOTUS signing bonus of $200k+[/quote]

Yes, but things are changing and have changed since the 1980s & 1990s. Litigation is a secondary practice at the majority of Biglaw firms. Some firms are reluctant to pay the huge bounty (advanced standing & significant signing bonus) for those with double federal clerkships over concern about their focus on litigation practice versus the more steady & profitable transactional practice areas.

Th[b]e advice to make law review and to get a federal judicial clerkship is given here in a cavalier fashion as if those are easily attainable goals. They are not.[/quote][/b]

Of course they are not easily obtainable.  But that is the road to riches.[/quote]
