    Sample materials, state specific information, panel recordings and answers to your frequently asked questions can be found at our online Judicial Clerkships guide.

    • Clerkships are for everyone – apply for clerkships regardless of your GPA. Each judge has their own hiring credentials and GPA is only one factor considered.
    • Apply broadly – you do not have to take the bar in the same state where you clerk.
    • Our alumni clerks have gone on to positions in everything from large firms to government to public interest to policy. Clerking makes you a better lawyer.
    • NJ judges generally hire earlier than PA. There are also more positions in NJ. This means you may have a position lined up early in your 3L year.

    Reminder: 3Ls, it’s not too late to apply for 2022-2023 Law Clerk opportunities. The deadline is on May 31, so there’s still time!

International, federal, state, and local laws and regulations in cybersecurity and data privacy are rapidly evolving in response to emerging issues that seem to change almost daily. As the legal and regulatory environment continues to evolve, organizations are working hard to comply and protect the information they hold, paving the way for law firm, in-house, and public sector opportunities for new lawyers or lawyers in transition. Cybersecurity and data privacy attorneys work in litigation, regulatory, and transactional practices, as such these fields remain open to a diverse array of practice settings and require a diverse set of skills. Join our panel as they discuss careers in the evolving areas of cybersecurity and data privacy law.
