I applied to a bunch of NY firms. I interviewed at 6 (screener & second round), rejected from 1, and had offers from my top 2 (ended up withdrawing my applications from the rest when that happened).

Having never done OCI in law school, I was surprised by the speed (or lack thereof) of some firms. My top choice (and where I accepted) was adamant about getting me. I could set my watch to their communication schedule—never went more than 24 hours after an interaction. It was very impressive as a whole, and their enthusiasm was unequivocal. Meanwhile a “top firm” in my practice area was slow-rolling the whole process (even though they were my first interview). It was infuriating lol. The other surprise was which firms are focused on last quarter’s numbers vs. which have a more wholistic approach to hiring/preparing for the future.

I’m following this thread. My clerkship ends late this summer so I wasn’t sure when to start applying because I don’t want to have to end it earlier. It seems like some people are already starting to reach out to firms though so I’m curious if anyone has any insight as to what firms’ thoughts are on law clerks applying now.

Same regarding ending late summer, I’ve started sending my resume to firms, hoping to have something secured by late March/early April. My other friends that clerked on a similar timeline said January/February is when you should start applying.

Anyone else kind of bored clerking? I liked law school and thought I liked research and writing, but so far this district court clerkship has been pretty boring—lots of state law issues that are poorly briefed. Though to be fair, most of my time has been spent on one big case that I’m 99% sure is going to settle but not until the eve of trial bc that’s plaintiff’s counsel’s m.o.; so my work resolving the insane number of SJ and Daubert motions seems like a waste of my time.
