Any advice for dealing with student loan payments while clerking? I was paying almost 2k a month in big law and asked for an adjustment now that I’m in a district court clerkship, but they’re still making my payments higher than my friends who make more than me. Any way to appeal this payment plan designation?

Did you actually complete the application for a new IBR? You’ll need to provide a paystub for your new income and they should process it and modify the monthly payment. It takes a month or so to process. You can do it on the student gov site.

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.

I’m trying to get out ASAP b/c he also has a history of firing clerks without cause or notice, but I think I’ll only be able to give two weeks notice if i get the job I’m interviewing for. Thoughts?
