At this point, you have 6+ years of legal experience, why do you want to clerk?
My practice has progressively moved further and further away from litigation. I’d like to think clerking could help move me back towards lit and private practice.
I worked 4 years in big law first, then clerked my 5th year. I only listed references from the firm since I didn’t think professors made sense at that point either.
I practiced for two years before clerking and had one letter from an attorney at my firm and the others from professors. Since you worked for a longer time post-law school, I think it would be appropriate to rely more on letters from colleagues / partners. And if one of your letters is from a professor I think that would be fine too
