Getting the Most From Your Judicial Internship/Externship
Presented by the American Bar Association
Join JAMS neutral Hon. Heather A. Welch (Ret.) at the "Getting the Most From Your Judicial Internship/Externships" hosted by the American Bar Association on Thursday July 18, 2024.
Judicial internships are rare and coveted opportunities among law students: they mean hands-on experience in some of the most demanding and exciting legal environments, working directly with judges. And if your career aspirations include becoming a law clerk or even a judge someday, a judicial internship can be a great step on that path too. In this program we will feature judges, former interns, and possibly current interns to talk about some of the following:
- How to offer the best help to the judge
- The role of and working with law clerks (term and career)
- Ethical concerns for interns (e.g., confidentiality, writing samples, disclosure of your work, presentation on your resume)
- Uing the internship as a pathway to a clerkship
- How do law firms value your experience as a judicial intern
- Writing best practices
- Relationship with staff and court personnel
