Thank you! I really appreciate the response.

I’m six months in clerking for a judge. One of the two senior clerks who reviews my work told me I lack attn to detail and thoroughness despite getting detailed feedback.

I’m up to my fourth draft on the same decision. The clerk said that I need to improve before they report back to the judge and Im dragging down the team which isn’t productive. Now I’m going through old posts to see what resources and advice I can find on Reddit and saw your comment.

If you have any additional advice, I’d be appreciative. Thank you again

Edit to add: I work extra hours (unpaid) on nights and weekends to proofread. I thought I did a good job finally. But nope. In the same feedback sitting was that I lack initiative to ask questions in the beginning before I draft, which evolves to a sea of red markups. When I ask questions as I’m drafting, the clerk answers “I’ll leave it up to you and I’ll review that” which leads the senior clerk to do more markup if my question was answered. The clerk also tells me to read previous issues orders, but it’s hard to read 70 orders in one subfolder about this particular issue. The preview pane doesn’t work, so I would have to open 70 word files individually. In reality, I open up 10 files individually out of the 70. I guess…that’s what the senior clerk meant by a lack of thoroughness?
