I'm going from fed district to state Supreme Court. Networking got and knowing people got me in these positions. Also, sending application materials by mail may have some success too. I know a few people who got Circuit clerkships by just sending their application by mail and having some connection to the area where the court is located

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.
