Federal term clerks have to pay their own fees
Ask your judge.
Also, check with your state. some states allow you to switch to inactive status while you clerk, so you don't have to pay fees.
I discussed this with my judge and they informed me the judiciary where I work has a policy of not paying bar or organization fees because of the appearance of a conflict of interest, especially where the judiciary handles admission. I agree some of these fees are ridiculously steep though.
