This Just In: Judicial Clerkships: A Practical Guide

If you’re hoping to orchestrate a judicial clerkship for yourself, this latest book by a trio of Hamline University School of Law legal research and writing professors may be helpful. Judicial Clerkships: A Practical Guide surveys the typical day in the life of a judicial clerk, and offers advice on applying for the job. The next few chapters give you a refresher on legal research, writing, and citation (big parts of a judicial clerk’s job). You’ll find at the core of the book several chapters on heavy duty drafting for bench memos, trial court documents, appellate opinions, correspondence and other documents.
