\ clerkships

\Hi Everyone!
This is judicial clerkship application season and I just wanted to put it out there--please apply to be a clerk!  We need more people of color as law clerks.  As a clerk you get exposed to different lawyer's writing styles and presentation styles, which is great for preparing to practice law.   And as an advocate you get to make recommendations to the judge on how to rule and you get to draft rulings and motions. I am a month into my clerkship and I love it.
I don't think I am going to make it to either the NLG or the NLLSA conference this year but I do want to impress upon you all that there are opportunities to clerk.
The Judge I am working for takes applications in the Spring and if you have questions PLEASE let me know!  To my knowledge he is the only one in the building who hires law clerks of color here so we need to get good candidates, please spread the word.
EMAIL ME directly with questions about clerking and please let your friends know they can email me too.  Anita Garcia at: xolot@earthlink.net
Thanks,
Anita
