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.

Need advice on a specific question!
Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?
