Judicial Clerkships

Moritz students and graduates are encouraged to consider a state or federal clerkship in their career plans. Securing a clerkship can provide a unique, rewarding, and challenging work experience for a year or two following graduation, and an opportunity to view the law from the rare perspective of judicial decision making. Judicial clerkships are extremely competitive and students who are considering applying are encouraged to take advantage of the Judicial Externship Program which provides an excellent introduction into the workings of the court system and the clerking experience.

Over the past several years, Moritz graduates have clerked for The United States Supreme Court, United States Court of Appeals judges in the 4th Circuit, 6th Circuit, 9th Circuit, 11th Circuit and Federal Circuit, as well as United States District Court, state court and specialized court judges in Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington D.C.
