A clerkship is wonderful training for any lawyer and a SC clerkship is the top of the line.


I'm pretty certain the one JAG officer I knew did not get a deferral, and did his clerkship after his service. He was able to defer to go to law school, but not for the clerkship.


This happened to a friend of mine from law school too. T10 law school and lots of judges look favorably on military service, so he made it work.


Yes, this friend of mine was able to get a great clerkship ... he just had to wait until after his JAG service.


Too bad your friend's mom wasn't as swampy as Amy Chua or he could have just taken taxpayer money for school then sailed into a Sup Ct clerkship

+1 Quid pro quo baby. A favorable op ed touting Kavanaugh's support for women and Kavanaugh supports a particular woman who happens to be Chua's daughter.

Maybe she didn't a JAG slot and is putting off having to be an infantry officer? Now THAT would be funny.

It's her third deferral, and other JAGs are saying it's not typical to be allowed a deferral for a clerkship.

Yep. I’m outraged the the elite get their tuition paid to an Ivy and then get to skip military service.

I’m amused that Dems have become the party standing up for the military.

And all the outrageousness coming out of the gritfty swamp is exhausting. I can not wait for a smart, ethical, strong POTUS. Instead of a whimsy grifter with a grifty family, a grifty cabinet and grifty hangers on.


Who says she is "skipping" military service? Sounds to me that it has been delayed for a year.
Your outrage is noted. And, ignored.

You are all wrong because her military service has been delayed for a lot longer than a year.

Anonymous wrote:Purely anecdotal, but from experience:

Sometimes, depending on the branch of the Army, it can be over a year before the new officer is able to attend his/her training course. This is because of scheduling on the part of the Army--all new officers cannot start the next level of training immediately after graduation. I have an instance in my own family where it was over a year. This was someone going in the Reserves, not Active Duty.

Just saying, that the Army also may defer people due to space. In other words, deferral is no big deal. It does not mean the obligation is erased.



This is the third deferral. Any anecdotes like this?

Call PJ and Squee.

You Kav supporters are some sick people.

Care to explain how all that credit card debt and the house was paid off?

That seat was purchased, pure and simple, by people with money who wanted a puppet they could manipulate.

So. Much. Winning.

So. Terribly. Disgusting.



You seem unhinged. Also, do you have actual evidence to support those allegations of yours? No? Oh, it was just your hate/obsession speaking. Buh-bye.
