I haven’t, but I have a friend that did something similar - spent two years in commercial lit at a regional firm and then clerked for a year. Is there anything particular you want to know about?
My friend had no difficulty reintegrating. The firm was eager to have him back and offered him a job as soon as they were legally able to, and he had several other offers as well. At least from what I’ve seen, unless there is a recession, firms are eager to hire people with both clerking experience and firm experience. I also do think that it is advantageous to clerk for a judge in your region, as it gives you a great opportunity to network in your own area.
Really depends on the firm and its culture. Some firms are great abt treating these experiences seriously, others not so much
