WashU Law: Clerkships Beyond Prestige - Fit, Mentorship, and Workplace Culture
ACS in partnership with the Women of Color Law Society, First Generation Lawyers Society, and the Public Service Advisory Board, will co-host a conversation focused on how to find judges who foster supportive, enriching clerkship experiences.
While clerking can be an extraordinary professional opportunity, the quality of the experience often depends on the judge. Identifying a judge who will be a strong mentor and supportive supervisor during such a formative stage of one’s career is critical — and navigating the often opaque clerkship process can be particularly challenging for women, students of color, and first-generation law students.
Former judicial clerks will share candid reflections on their experiences, discuss how they evaluated judges and chambers culture, and offer guidance on balancing long-term career outcomes with immediate professional growth.
