We will consider first-year, second-semester students if they have strong, relevant work experience at a law firm.

They work directly with principals and associates to provide substantive assistance through all phases of negotiation, litigation, trial, and beyond.

- Calendaring of meetings, depositions, hearings, trial dates, and other events

- Ability to multitask, prioritize work, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment

We favor second-year evening law students; applicants with strong, relevant legal experience; and applicants who already are working full-time. We will consider first-year evening law students if they have successfully completed one semester; if they have strong, relevant legal experience; *and* if they already are working full-time. In general, we will not consider third-year students. Fourth-year students and JD holders *cannot* become law clerks
