u/Gabriel_Rodrigo — reddlx

2L here. Came to law school, hoping to enter private practice. Didn’t get an offer from a firm. Did get a job at a DA’s office this summer for courtroom experience.

I landed a federal clerkship for the first year after I finish. I was told, “this can open doors.“ The going wisdom is that firm hiring isn’t going to get any easier, and I can’t expect that as an option, especially since I didn’t spend a summer in a firm.

I like writing, and I want to be a better writer. I believe this will help me to that end, but can someone who has a better sense of all of this lend some insight on what my job prospects will be like when my clerkship ends? It doesn’t have to be for private practice.
