Curious why being a career clerk is perceived as such a good gig?
Just FYI - I clerked at the stage level, but my hours were not normal and sucked. Just make sure you check with former clerks to see if you’re a 9-5 clerk.
Have you clerked before or are your credentials at par for clerkships? Are you talking state or federal?
I think most state supreme court justices have career clerks/staffing attorneys
For fed, I would then try and clerk for as new if a judge as you can. Judges on the bench for a while have probably already decided if they want term or career clerks or a mix. A judge with all term might be convinced to take a career.
Depending on the state, there are clerks who serve as like research attorneys for all the trial level judges if they dont have their own individual clerks. Feel free to PM if you want to talk more
I often see job postings for the Massachusetts Appeals Court and sometimes for the Superior Courts looking for “staff/research attorneys,” which are essentially career clerks.
