Judicial Interview Prep!

A large number of 3Ls have applied for judicial clerkships, which is fantastic!  Hopefully, all of you will soon be invited to interview.  Before doing so, take some time to prepare.  Career Services has a copy of "Behind the Bench:  The Guide to Judicial Clerkships," for your use.  The interview chapter will surely give you valuable tips to guide your preparations.  Also, Career Services staff can give you a realistic mock interview to cap off your preparations!

If you plan to apply for judicial clerkships in the future, remember to use this book for cover letter and resume advice. 

One last tip:  whenever you send a letter to a judge, remember that your closing is "Respectfully," not "Sincerely," "Very truly yours," etc.  Only "Respectfully" will do for judicial letters!
