Has anyone interviewed with Amazon in the last 6 months. I finished my loop for a finance role. It’s been 8 business days and no update from the recruiter. I mailed the recruiter who said apologies for the delay but we will get back to you with next steps. Has anyone had this experience and what was the outcome Amazon

I think the most important thing for a clerkship is knowing the procedures for deciding dispositive motions inside out and backwards. I think some kind of pivot from regulatory procedure to civil procedure. Most judges don’t really need help with criminal cases
Emphasize your writing experience (e.g., law review, research assistant) and leadership roles. Plus it definitely helps having a few great recommendations. I'm pretty sure I got my first clerkship based, in part, on one of my professors who recommended me.
I also think communicating that you view the clerkship as service helps. A lot of judges view it that way. It also signals that you’ll work hard with an eye towards the benefit of a virtuous end versus a mere instrumental view of your time with judge.
