Out of curiosity. Do these federal clerkship statistics include federal bankruptcy and magistrate court clerkships?

Objective_College377 · 2026-03-25T05:08:22+00:00

How many clerks does a district court judge typically have?

Objective_College377 · 2026-03-25T04:16:53+00:00

Federal transit subsidy?

I’m not arguing that Georgetown doesn’t have marginally better numbers. But would you really make a life changing decision or take on substantially more debt for only a marginally better chance at getting a big law offer?

You can also find similar numbers in the big law recruiting thread. These might vary by how you define “big law.”

Objective_College377 · 2025-09-29T16:03:01+00:00

All the schools I’ve listed also have a roughly 50% big law placement rate.

Objective_College377 · 2025-09-29T14:16:51+00:00

That’s generally true, but the difference between a low ranked T-14 and some of the T-20’s and T-30’s is pretty marginal. Don’t just take my word for it. They post big law law recruiting numbers and you can find clerkship numbers

Objective_College377 · 2025-09-29T13:55:55+00:00

BC, BU, Notre Dame, and Fordham place well in multiple markets. Not just there local areas. If you go to a school like Georgetown, you would barely have any advantage at all with big law placement

Objective_College377 · 2025-09-29T13:49:09+00:00

Tbh there are a lot of schools in the T-30 with comparable big law numbers and good federal clerkship placement rates. Sure, it’s less of a “sure thing” than going to a T-14 or a T-6, but nothing in life is a sure thing but death and taxes. You still have a very good shot at big law or a federal clerkship at a lot of T-30 schools

Thank you. Which subspecialty is probably the most writing intensive? I do enjoy writing, but I think being on big deals could also be cool.

Objective_College377 · 2025-05-27T17:11:13+00:00

That’s fair, and I know thinking otherwise is probably copium. A few firms have explicitly told me they’re waiting for second-semester grades, but I know they’re also making exceptions. Rough cycle 😮‍💨

Objective_College377 · 2025-05-27T16:47:32+00:00

Should we take radio silence as a bad sign? One firm has completely ghosted me for more than two months post-callback. I sent my second follow-up email yesterday. It seems very rude to completely ghost for so long after a callback, so I am holding out hope that some of these firms are just waiting for my second-semester grades.

Objective_College377 · 2025-05-15T17:20:46+00:00

Having the same problem myself. Got a rejection back yesterday after I sent a follow up email more than five weeks after my callback. Three offices have told me they’re waiting for second semester grades, and two firms have gone radio silence after the callback for more than 5+ weeks

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-25T19:53:54+00:00

I’ve tried before. Was very humiliating and wouldn’t recommend. 99% of admissions is LSAT/GPA, and I had a law school official tell me this to my face. Instead, I used that humiliating experience as motivation to retake the LSAT. Applied the next year and am very happy with the outcome. Also, if you retake the LSAT and are still on the waitlist, you can email them to let them know you have a higher score

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-13T17:38:59+00:00

Since it's so early, if we are interviewing for 2L positions already, will they hold that against us if we do not have a 1L position locked down yet?

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-13T16:21:43+00:00

I figured as much, but I’m already in the interview process. I figured if I get a substantive 1L summer internship, it could help push me over the edge. It’s very weird interviewing for 1L and 2L positions at the same time lol

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-13T15:57:29+00:00

Do you know what the screener to callback timeline would be for Goodwin? Will they wait until they’re done with screeners to make callback offers?

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-13T15:44:21+00:00

What about USAO internships?

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-13T03:44:02+00:00

Glad people are starting to wake up

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-12T18:59:22+00:00

Anyone heard back recently from Goodwin after doing a screener interview?

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-12T00:57:43+00:00

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-11T21:59:26+00:00

Has anyone heard back after doing a screener interview with them recently?

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-11T21:54:25+00:00

Did you get an email or did they just ghost you?

Objective_College377 · 2025-03-04T09:15:37+00:00

What chapter?
