A clerkship is a post-graduate position with a judge or justice, where you will build skills essential to your legal practice and also forge foundational professional relationships.
Every year, Columbia Law School students and alumni obtain some of the most coveted judicial clerkship positions in the country—ranging from the U.S. Supreme Court, federal courts of appeal, and federal district courts to a broad array of state, specialty and international courts.
