So many young lawyers and recent grads are hungry to earn a law clerk position. As prefaced in the ‘Law Clerk Handbook’ by Judge Alvin B. Rubin and his clerk Laura B. Bartell, “the partnership between a federal judge and the judge’s clerk can be a splendid and mutually rewarding relationship”. Host Dave Scriven-Young sits down with Judge Joan Lefkow of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and her former law clerk Gerard Belfort now at Ballard Spahr. Together they discuss what law clerks do, recommendations for earning a clerkship, and tips for litigators in front of the court. 

Stay tuned for Darryl Wilson’s litigation tips about conflicts of interest.
