Practising Law Institute (PLI) offered a free, live networking reception and program on July 22, 2024 at 6 pm in New York City: Your Path to Chambers: Clerking and Interning for a Federal Judge.
American Bar Association Section on Litigation offered this program on April 11, 2024: Demystifying Clerkships ("Hear from current and former federal law clerks about what it means to clerk, the clerkship application process and how to make yourself stand out!") Note: This program was free for ABA Section of Litigation members. As noted on the opening page of this research guide: basic American Bar Association (ABA) law student membership is free and a law student can join five free ABA groups. So, a BLS law student who chooses to join the ABA + ABA's Section of Litigation likely was able to attend this program for free. We will track possible future availability of this program as a recorded webinar and future similar programs offered by bar associations.
