PSAB | Finding Good Judges
2026-03-27 08:00 - 17:00 | The Newmark Family Courtroom, A-B Hall Room 309
Clerking is a great opportunity in many ways, but the outcomes and quality of the experience are dependent entirely on the judge. It is of paramount importance to find who will be a good boss during a formative part of your career, and it can be especially hard for women, minorities, and first-generation students to navigate the opaque judiciary. We will have former judicial clerks (and potentially ACS’s Director of Strategic Engagement) discuss their experiences finding good people to work for while balancing career outcomes and immediate professional growth.
