Judicial Clerkships
“We find that young lawyers who have served in judicial clerkships bring many advantages with them. Not only have they had an intense apprenticeship in legal writing and research, but they have had a unique opportunity to witness…and evaluate…effective advocacy. They are better equipped to become powerful and convincing advocates as a result.”
- Jeffrey E. Stone, Co-Chair of McDermott Will & Emery LLP and Chair of the Management Committee
More than 110 of our lawyers have judicial clerkship experience. To assist our summer associates who have an interest in pursuing a judicial clerkship, we invite our summer associates to participate in The McDermott Judicial Clerkship Mentoring Program. Summer Associates are paired with McDermott attorneys who are former clerks with the goal of providing counsel and guidance on the different clerkships available and the clerkship application process.
