Federal Judicial Clerkship Report of Recent Law School Graduates, 2020 Edition
I’ve updated my Federal judicial Report of Recent Law School Graduates, which is now available via SSRN. It tracks recent federal judicial clerkship hiring tends by school and by region, “elite” legal employment placement rates, and trends within the federal judiciary in hiring recent law school graduates. Most data is a three-year average for the Classes of 2017, 2018, and 2019 to smooth out any one-year outliers. Here’s one chart, judicial clerkship placement rate of recent graduates for these three classes: 31 schools had at least 5% placed into federal judicial clerkships.
