Judicial Clerkship Committee

The Judicial Clerkship Committee is comprised of faculty who are dedicated to supporting Drake Law students wishing to pursue a judicial clerkship at any level.  The faculty all have direct experience with the judiciary and understand the important role that judicial law clerks play. The committee can help you prepare your search, advise as you polish off your cover letters and writing samples, and also perfect your interview skills.  Please contact any one of the committee members if you are interested in a judicial clerkship at any level.
